 Debian Etch – the best Debian yet

May 8, 2007

Ever since Cyan Ogilvie introduced me to Debian, circa Woody, I’ve been one of the converted. Debian might be slow in it’s releases cycle, but you simply cannot beat the scope of packages and care taken in it’s assembly.

I’ve been doing customized Debian builds for some products, and I cannot imagine doing it on any other platform than Debian. Preseeded installations, and the awesome apt dependencies simply make it a pleasure to do customization.

Never mind the fact that Debian, like me, likes perl. A lot.
