- tomrod 14y agoI've just found Debian breaks too much and is mostly deprecated, e.g. Python 2.4?
- ezyang 14y agoUbuntu is a Debian-based distribution, and receives many of its software updates from Debian.
- Thrymr 14y agoThat sounds like FUD. If you don't want it to break, use stable, which is currently at python 2.6.6: http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=squeeze&searchon=names&keywords=python http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=squeeze&searchon... If you want up-to-date, use testing, which is at python 2.7.3: http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=wheezy&searchon=names&keywords=python http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=wheezy&searchon=... They both have python3 versions available, too (3.1.3 and 3.2.3 respectively). There are legitimate complaints about Debian, but being stuck on python 2.4 is not one of them.
- tomrod 14y agoMy mistake. I installed Debian stable about 3 months ago, but Numpy was ridiculously out of date. I falsely remembered it being Python itself. Mea culpa.
- vacri 14y agoDebian Stable doesn't break - it is The Other Linux when it comes to servers. Debian Testing and Debian Unstable do occasionally break... but that's kind've in their names.
- jeltz 14y agoI have ran Debian Testing for a couple of years now and it has broke less for me than Ubuntu used to do. I am very impressed with the stability of something called Testing.
- comice 14y agodonate to both, though give Debian more because they don't have a Mark Shuttleworth :)
