Hi,
I use wheezy on my Servers.
If you have no poeple who needs the server every time (like in
business). Than you can use wheezy.
The mailserver would run on Squeeze too, but I have no bigger problems
with the System (1/2 yeahr 1 bigger error coused by munin)
I use wheezy, because of Xen.
If you only want to use a mail server than use Squeeze. The Software is
not much newer.
If you want to use virtualisation then think about wheezy.
So think about it, what do you need more, a system that runs stable or
a system with the newest software.
Otherwise, wheezy would be stable sometime (long this time couldn't be
anymore) so then you have unstable (Squeeze) Wheezy is Stable.
And you can't change easy (and you don't want that "Never change a
running system").
When the server is just for you, or other poeple who can life with
downtimes think about wheezy
if not use Squeeze
regards
Thore

Hello,
When Debian 7 is stable ?
I read this version have packages more recent.
I want install mail server.
Is anybody installing the debian version 7 ?
Atenciosamente,
Rodrigo Faria Tavares
Packages are far more recent than on Debian 6, yes.
However, debian 7 is currently the "testing" branch, named wheezy. It
is not officially stable enough to be considered as stable, for Debian
quality standards.
It is frozen for many months now, but I have no idea about when it
will become the official stable.
My own opinion is that it is enough stable for normal users, but I
think that since a server does not needs last versions of softwares,
stable is better for them.
Some people will say that unstable is better for security issues,
because it is harder to exploit flaws when the software changes
constantly. I am not a professional admin so I will not say they are
true (in fact, I think some of those arguments are very interesting).
Now, remember that some distributions like Ubuntu are built on Debian
sid, aka Debian unstable, and are sometimes installed on servers. (I
just say that to give a general picture, not to say I agree or
disagree with people doing so)
