The U.S. has been operating under the same law for the longest though (or, at least, one of the longest), possibly with the exception of the United Kingdom depending on your definition of the "same". All the other nations in the world have had significant changes in type and constitution of government in the past two centuries, many in the past century. Canada, Mexico, all South American countries, all African countries, nearly all European countries, Middle East, China, Russia, India, etc. have all had significant changes to the system of government since the founding of the U.S. There is not a single nation that has been around for "literally thousands of years" without significant changes in the system of government and in the society generally.
Anyway, all looking at the duration of a system of government will tell you might be how well that system of government works and lasts. Anthropomorphizing a "young buck nation" doesn't mean anything. It is the individuals of a nation who comprise it and who would have a chip on their shoulders or the wisdom you imply that long-lasting nations have. These individuals don't inherit some magical wisdom which makes them better due to their country having the same name for a thousand years.
XFree86 releases their work almost exclusively (exclusively?) for the x86 architecture. Debian, however, releases for 11 architectures, and has high standards of quality as well. It takes a lot of time to port something as huge as XFree86 to 10 other architectures, but aside from the support, doing so makes the packages much more stable in the end.
There are also NetBSD and OpenBSD projects within the Debian project, so it could not simply be "BSD", and some people at the BSD projects wanted a name change to further distinguish the kernel-only BSD projects.
Aside from being an experimental exercise, this is a part of the universal notion of Debian. In the future, one will be able to use a Debian system with the Linux and Free-, Net-, or OpenBSD kernels. Thus, Debian will offer a more universal set of options, and by the same processes that produce Linux-based Debian and its quality, stability, and security.

First, it seems they would stay synched with either the testing or unstable branch of Debian, which develop relatively rapidly, in distinct ways, and such tracking would proceed toward concurrent releases.
Second, the installer for Sarge and subsequent releases of Debian will be an entirely rewritten on, without basis on the previously used "boot-floppies". That installer provides a flexible modular framework which allows easier development toward any user-friendly thing you like.
You do not need to know anything to have apt-get configured. If you just press enter, it will use default sources for apt, including security.d.o, etc.
Yes, it is correct you need to know what network card you have but in most cases you don't need to know anything beyond that and this is only an issue with network installs.
You don't need to know the names of any packages to install. There is a general task selection dialog you can use which will install "Office", "C Programming", "Web Browser", etc. The level of knowledge you need to install packages is the same as in any other distribution.
If you just keep pressing enter, the settings are at sensible defaults (or specify that you would like to see only few configuration questions). The only thing this doesn't work for is cfdisk partitioning or hardware that is not well supported.
There is: the nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-source packages each download the drivers (separately from the Debian package download) and the instructions to compile and install them are pretty accurate, complete, and step-by-step.
Make sure you comment out the Libranet lines and add the Debian lines properly (there are examples on the website somewhere), but the basic would be
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian woody main non-free contrib
although if you want newer software, you should specify "testing" or "unstable", although there are caveats with each of these.
Then do: apt-get install dpkg debconf apt-utils && apt-get dist-upgrade
This is probably what you missed, either you didn't install those 3 packages before everything else, or you did "apt-get upgrade" instead of dist-upgrade.
Well, be careful with your "we's" as I think Red Hat's move is stupid. However, it is true that the source of the entire system is available and anyone at all can maintain it themselves, provide a service to others to maintain it, etc.
As an aside, why is crack more addictive than powder cocaine? I was under the impression that insufflated powder cocaine would reach the brain faster than inhaled cocaine? Am I simply incorrect, or are there some other features of the respective substances?
Basically, it says that caffeine does not stimulate the same area of the brain (and not being dopaminergic) that makes cocaine, amphetamines, nicotine, and such so addictive. It also qualifies the entire study by only asserting that caffeine in small quantities (1-3 cups) is not addictive, which doesn't mean that caffeine is not addictive in general, in higher doses.
Simply saying that it is not addictive is incorrect, it's just not addictive by the same means as cocaine, nicotine, etc. Caffeine still satisfies the medical criteria for addiction: reinforcement ( you like it so you do it again), tolerance (you must take increasing quantities to achieve the same effects), and withdrawal (undesirable effects of ceasing use).
Dapper and gentleman, however, do not, and they also don't have the silly sexual implications of metrosexual, which has nothing to do with sexual orientation. Metrosexual sounds a lot like it should be more "gay" than fop or dandy.
I don't know what market you were in, but most shows have commercials no less than 10 minutes apart, and last for 3-5 minutes. As for the car commercials, that's only due to the shows you happen to be watching. With certain shows, you will never see a car commercial, as it doesn't fit the demographic. Of course, the same is true about a lot of other things.
People in the middle ages died from simple colds? You don't have any idea what you're talking about do you? And life expectancy after youth hasn't increased as much as you seem to think, not to mention life expectancy doesn't measure increases in various diseases.
Well, I presume if you are using the search service to find a book, which is what it's designed for, it would be helpful in doing so, despite the lack of information beyond title and author. It's not really "advertising" if you as a searcher are actually searching for an appropriate book.
What? The Debian people reacted in a little over a day.

It's one thing for the ghosts to be invulnerable to injury or death, and it's an entirely other thing for them to move with the swiftness and with the incredible feats they perform in the movie. In the movie, they simply move incredibly quickly, much faster than any man could, even in a battle in which he is invulnerable. Somehow, they also manage to climb up on each other (which does works under some interpretations of ghostism) and topple an oliphaunt in mere seconds. They do the same to climb up the castle walls with incredible swiftness, if I remember correctly. These were men before, and I don't see why that should be given magical powers to do what they were unable to do in the book, as the book states that the battle was not won so swiftly and easily with the arrival of the ghosts.
How would the social cost of climate change be accurately determined?
If these "carbon taxes" you speak of are taxes, wouldn't the government be setting the the value of the social cost of climate change? The same government that can't be trusted to set the optimal CO2 emissions limits? wtf?

At least when I upgraded to 2.6 a few weeks ago, this wasn't a problem.

There is a Debian-packaged firewall: ptables is included and there are several front-ends to it also included in the distribution.
These are both in the non-free section, btw.

Unless you have hardware that is not well-supported, the only thing you need to know is how to partition with cfdisk.
