Often imitated, never beaten.
There are some reasons not to like Debian, the most obvious of which is that the "stable" distribution, while historically __very__ stable, achieves this by being up to three years 'out of date'. [Ubuntu], a derivative of Debian, addresses this by having regular (six-monthly) release cycles. Also, Debian has a mentality of "we have official packages for everything", meaning that $new_thing has to be uploaded into the repository before you can get it. However, more people are packaging things in third party repositories that you can add to your AptSourcesList, and you can always install things from source.
