Re: [orca-list] Questions about Distributions

[John G Heim <jheim math wisc edu>]

For years I have been pondering submitting a bug report to Debian about 
their naming conventions. My department had a problem with Debian stable 
releases taking  too long. I really wanted to switch us to Debian 
testing but my boss had the predictable response, we're not running a 
testing distribution. So we switched to Ubuntu STS instead. But I'll bet 
that Debian testing is more stable than Ubuntu STS. If it just had a 
different name, we'd be running debian testing today.
