Can someone explain the difference between Debian Linux and otherflavours of Linux.Why is Debian considered to be more stable.

Debian's release cycle has been extremely long. As a result, theirpackages are well tested. They also backport security fixes, so as awhole, the Debian platform changes infrequently. It's a trade-off,forsaking the latest tech for older stuff that's known to be reliable.
