Got myself a Promise Tx4000 card last week and was surprised that kernels before 2.6.13 didn't support it fully - the card was detected but the ATA disks weren't. I called the supplier and they gave me the 'linux not supported - buy at your own risk' speech. I was about to give up when I discovered that the latest kernel 2.6.13-rc5 (now 2.6.14) finally added support for the ATA channels on this card.

If you'd been reading the rest of the discussion you would have noticed that people suggest that the stable distribution is more appropriate for server type environments where stability is paramount. I'm merely suggesting a 'stable' distribution more appropriate for general use (such as mine).
Your post contributes nothing to the 'solution', so I suggest you become a part of the solution instead of being a jackass.
My only complaint is that the testing version of Debian is updated a bit too often. I dislike having to get 10-20MB of packages every week to keep up just in case there are some security updates included (Debian security notifications are only done for the stable release).
I would prefer something in between stable and testing, updated reasonably often with new packages (and features) and also have security releases in between as required.

Well, if your assertion is correct, then wouldn't the 4 year code be worth quite a lot? Seeing as it is a better version before it went downhill?
Get and support CSipSimple! It's much better even in alpha.
I'm still waiting for a SIP client that does G729, I'm hoping they provide that in CSipSimple soon (even if it costs $$)
I hope they're including a defragmenter in 3.0... ;)
Dammit where are my mod points when I need them!
And all those 20,000 seeders can probably expect a knock on the door soon. Why people still use bittorrent (public trackers) amazes me.

Ah, but the question is does it pass the Turing Test?
Whoever came up with those suffixes (gibi etc) should be forced to say them out loud, in public! They sound ridiculous!
And a nice cease and desist email in your inbox the next day :P
Damit why do I always find good posts after I've used up my mod points?
