    Hi,

    Thought you guys might be interested in this. Last weeks copy of eweek
    contains a review of Debian. The article even has front page mention with
    the headline "Stability is Debian's Key Strength".

    The author states "Debian GNU/Linux is a stable, complete Linux distribution
    that has the best software update system of any Linux distribution that eWeek
    Labs has seen". He has some negative comments about the installer but the
    overall theme is *very* positive.

    The article is available online at
    http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,4149,1553247,00.asp?kc=EWRSS03129TX1K0000616
