[Cialug] Debian riddle

[Matt Stanton]

Heh, yeah I was just going to make a glib remark about Debian Stable being completely ancient in every way, but didn't realize that would actually be the real reason.  That said, there are versions of Debian with newer packages, but they label them "not stable" (though they are using packages considered stable enough for other distros).  There is even a rolling release Debian distro.

I say go Arch!<tongue in='cheek' />

Sorry for the noise, .. did not occur to me that Jessie would still be on
a 3x kernel! Looks like Stretch is now out, .. going for online update.
