That's fine.  I don't necessarily agree with a 2.2 kernel being stable, 
I'd call it stale.  My opinion.  I don't install anything called testing 
or unstable on a client machine, but will install SuSE Pro, possibly 
even Fedora core.

I must have missed the bf24 option, was it displayed anywhere?

I just finished downloading the 7 discs for stable. :(

&gt; I run Debian stable on all my servers. For my desktops and laptop I
&gt; use the unstable branch. I intend to load Ubuntu Linux on my laptop
&gt; over the winter break (I work at a college) and give it a shot. I
&gt; have really been looking for a &quot;desktop distribution&quot; based on Debian
&gt; to fall in love with for my everyday systems.

I don't know, I just can't seem to consider something that is running 
stuff that is that old.  2.2 kernel by default.

&gt; But, as Jim said, Debian stable does NOT have the latest and greatest
&gt; software. What it does have is the most solid release system out
&gt; there. Security updates? Stable has 'em and has 'em fast.

You must mean the most solid Debian release system out there. :)
