Hi Guys, Just interested to know how you would compare it to Debian on the stability/security/reliability front?
I usually just opt for Debian if I need these features for an install.
Nick.
A couple of years ago i spent a while looking/testing at different distros. Only one's i reckoned worth using were Centos, Debian and Mepis (but these two are rather slow on their development cycle which one could argue is why they are stable distros). As for ubuntu it seems to have got worse imo since 2009 when i stopped using it - xubuntu i've found trouble with latterly. To me the six month release cycle is it's downfall... Fedora is no different (slightly better perhaps).
