While I've enjoyed all the "fish" exchanges from this thread, how on earth
have you found Ubuntu more stable than Lenny? You cite "stability issues"
and "updates" as reasons for using Ubuntu and then state you last tested
Lenny, leading one to believe an Ubuntu->Lenny comparison is being made
here.

Maybe I'm totally off my gourd but that doesn't make sense at all.

Slackware is usually recommended for this. Or you you wanna learn the
very basics, LFS and derivates.

I was thinking of squeeze as (if I'm not mistaken, correct me if I am)
Lenny is still on KDE 4.2.x and Open Office 2.x. KDE 4.4 is such an
