debian

It looks like this may be a premature announcement because the installation instructions don't work, specifically the debian notes.

It works so much better in debian/ubuntu, where most update requests go to a central repository.

Hmmm, no problem in 4.0.249.30, from the recently released linux version on a Debian system.

My Debian installation has been being updated for years now and went through three different machines, all without any bigger issues.

In my experience, Debian is easier to install than a recent version of Windows.

They have suites of IBM packages that can be installed on top of Redhat, SuSE, Ubuntu or Debian to make IBM-styled linux.

The hosting forum (vsido.org) is run by a distro based on Debian Sid (experimental).

I would have said Debian up to the whole Jessie debacle with systemd and abandoning core precepts.

I think everyone should roll their own distro;-) The example given is based on Debian Jessie.

Despite me being a long time Debian user, I've always appreciated how RedHat employees have always been community members first and RH employees second.

(like the pkh.me pasted or the Debian wiki one) Whose fault is it?

I upgraded a Debian machine just last month.

But the fallout would be for VLC to deal with ("VLC breaks on my Debian, it must be crap").

Debian lacks strong leadership with vision, and so they simply did what they always do which is to blindly follow RedHat's lead.

And use a different machine for private stuff, running VirtualBox in Debian.

This was used as leverage against Debian, and became a key reason for several of the votes for systemd in the infamous technical-committee vote.
