Depending on which release of Debian you look at, it can be well more
than mouldy versions... "Prehistoric" comes to mind:-). That said, it
does have stability, true.
But so do many other distros too, and without sticking to outdated
releases... Oh well, "Holy wars have started over less"...:-).

We've all been "new to Linux" at one point in time or other, and most
have good enough memories to remember what it was like (well, I came
from Unix to linux, sort of, and have never really left Unix.... And
it was rather early... was it version 0.96? Not that good memopry
after all:-)... The crowd here is generally a helpfull bunch, so ...
Don't hesitate to ask if you find another "stumbling block"!
