Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 releasedDebian GNU/Linux 4.0 releasedPosted Apr 9, 2007 5:31 UTC (Mon) by cyfaill (guest, #42384)Parent article: Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 released
I built a pre-release version (amd64) of Debian "Etch" about two - three months ago.
Dual boots to a Debian 3.1 (i386 version) on a AMD dual core machine.
I was really impressed with it and its improvements over Debian 3.1 "Sarge" in many ways was truly great.
Naturally, this this evening I ordered a full Debian 4 (i386) on DVD's And I look forward to using this for our company which runs Linux exclusively.
Debian is so reliable and flexible, It just does everything I ask it to do.
Thank you to all of the developers of this most powerful Linux.

And for additional multimedia packages check out debian-multimedia.org for all your evil codec and dvd css cracking needs.
Then I also like 64studio, which is additional packages for audio workstation. Works great, but you have to setup preferences so that you pin to Etch unless you want to run their realtime modified kernel.
Personally I run unstable, but Etch is what I prefered (over Ubuntu) for when I have to setup machines for other people that I am more or less responsable for. They are just easier to maintain and support most everything anybody needs.
