But, it works. Btw, have you installed Lenny? If not, please stop your crap!

Please stop making a fool of yourself on a public mailing list.
Dinesh: Lenny may have slightly older packages than other distributions, but I definitely think it is the most stable Linux distribution available right now (YMMV !).
If you really want to compare Debian to Ubuntu, then you should be using making the comparison with Experimental, not even Sid. And btw, if you think Experimental is, well, experiemental, try using Ubuntu or Fedora's development branches.
I use Debian sid for all my work and couldn't have been happier. I'm a former Redhat->Fedora->Debian->Ubuntu guy and am back to Debian now for the simple reason that it works.
I'd much rather ask newbies to use a distribution that works, rather than ask them to use the latest bleeding version of a distribution that breaks with the next software upgrade.

Mandriva ROCKS! ;-)
Best, Atanu
