Du you know the meaning of the word STABLE? Potato is a stable
collection of software, and most pieces you mentioned are not! Why? Look
in their Changelogs in Sid, look in bug reports, this software may be
good enough for ex-windows^w^w home-users, but not for a critical
production system.

Mandrake and many other distribution is for version junkies, got if you
are one.

Blah. Either they do know what they need, or they should take Mandrake
or similar. Not SuSE, the SuSE company claim this product to be
"profesional" but it's of the same kind as
RedHat/Caldera/<other-crapy-distribution>.
