May be a repost, but I’m just trying out posting to the Linux group…

    Debian stable is irrelevent or pointless. Only Debian testing branch is worth something.

      I quite like testing, I agree that for desktop use it’s fantastic, but stable has been a real balm when it comes to servers. I don’t need the latest bleeding-edge Apache or w/e, I need solidity.

      I expect if I were running a computer lab or something, I’d also run stable, just because in large numbers, small problems become big problems.

        I consider Debian stable pointless due not getting any software updates in order to be able. Not getting releases of new versions also means vulnerabilities. I know stable gets security fixes, but programs still get out of date.

        For better stability and also updates, Devuan is the only way to go, and Devuan testing is the best. I refuse to install Debian, only Devuan.
