Re: Which linux distro is the stables/strongest for SERVERS

I demand that Ignoramus9168 may or may not have written...

[snip]
How [long] are debian distros supported with patches,

For a year after the next release.

and also, how easy is it to upgrade debian to the next release.

Usually reasonably easy - at best, edit /etc/apt/sources.list to point at the
new stable release, then
# aptitude update
# aptitude dist-upgrade

Usually, there's a bit more between the update and the dist-upgrade; what to
do (and why) is detailed in the release notes.
