If you live on a steep, un-paved road, then you need an SUV
or the like, and a little sportscar just won't work.
Debian is the most stable of the distros, and the most
flexible. Its package manager, apt-get, is far superior
to rpm and its derivatives, which is largely responsible
for this flexibility.
Despite the ignorant ramblings you will sometimes hear on a group
like this, installing Debian is a breeze on any box from an
old 486 to the present.
You'll have to work a _little_ harder to use Debian, but the
payback is tenfold.
