All that is to say that Ubuntu serves a purpose, and it's a valuable

Debian while doing things that Debian stubbornly refuses to do, like
sticking to a schedule. On that score, I agree 100% with Ian Murdoch --
Debian is missing a big opportunity.

What schedule. There was/is no promised schedule. "Dec 6th 2006" was
never an actual release date.

Don't forget to check that your /etc/apt/sources.lst entries point to
etch and not testing, otherwise you may end up with a broken system once
etch goes stable.
