No, and sorry for continuing it. Just one more thought ... > It's clear that Debian is used for different purposes and one size might > not fit all. Personally I like long release cycles.

I've got better things to do with Agreed, and in case that's not loud enough for (some of) you, others out here think the nitwits running bleeding edge software are utterly insane! :-) I am tired of hearing Sven tell me to upgrade to the latest mutt whenever I venture into comp.mail.mutt with a problem. I don't care if the latest version has cool new features. It's also got uncool new bugs (no offense intended). I sympathise with the developer in him who wants to fix bugs in the current source, not the old source, but the old mutt mostly works pretty damn fine for me. Why the heck would I want to upgrade to less stable software?!? For all those out there moaning that Woody is just too damn old to matter to anyone, bite me. I love it. You, on the other hand, are apparently making unsound hardware purchases, or poorly researched ones at least.
