From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Problem with debian is it's stable in the sense of unchanging, not necessarily a lack of bugs.
He's saying he wants up to date packages and stability, which seems to mean he was current software without bugs. That's not debian stable.
I'll bite, what is this mythical bugless system thee speak of?
None, but bugs stick around way longer in debian stable because of how old the software is.
Did you... really think I was talking about a bugless distro?
No, but I do see you mentioning problems without showing any solutions.
OK.
