Well, this is hacker news.

  Debian is totally unstable: when I throw the server out of the window and it experiences an upset around the pitch axis, it does not tend to revert to the original flight attitude without control input.

    Was there a point in this message? I did not get it.

      Yes, I should've been more explicit: It's evidently problematic to use jargon from one field in another field. "Stable" has a common sense definition, and has a meaning in IT that's fairly close to that common sense definition, but has a meaning in aerodynamics that's much more specific. A lot of confusion in this thread resulted from a mixing of those definitions. That's the point I tried to humorously make above.
