[TriLUG] Debian question

[M. Mueller (bhu5nji)]

Is Debian falling behind the other main distros (RH, Mandrake, SUSE)?  I pick 
up hints that this is the case in things that I read and overhear.  Several 
months ago I had some mysterious mainboard problems usings Debian Potato that 
did not exist with RH6.1 (straight out of the box).  That experience put the 
question into my head.  Then I just read Mr. Chen's post that the ext3 stuff 
is unofficially in the Debian.

Are the "for profit" distros able to apply more resources to staying current?

Disclaimer:  I know that distro questions can ignite passions similar to the 
way editor questions ignite passions.  My interest is dispassionate.  Please 
feel free to release passion nonetheless.  I would love to use Debian.  I 
think the Debian user list rocks.  But I am inadequate and I just couldn't 
make the distro work on some of my newsest hardware.  But there is this 
nagging question in the back of my mind that I ask this group to help me sort 
out.  (Donning flame suit).
