[NTLUG:Discuss] distro suggestions please

[Lance Simmons]

I've been using Debian Sid since 2001 with no issues, other than ones I
brought upon myself by not checking documentation, and package updates with
errors that were solved within hours. There has almost always been an easy
workaround on the bug site within a few hours, but if all else fails you
can downgrade the offending package. If you were using a computer for
something mission-critical, Debian Stable is rock solid.

The regrettable available hardware options compel me to use the non-free
repositories, and I suspect the same is true for many people.

Good luck as you decide where to go from here.
