Debian released Sarge today. Oh boy. What does this mean for me? It means my sources.list is now broken.

Seriously, why do Linux distros insist on having releases? I've always thought that if you want new stuff just pick a branch (-STABLE, -CURRENT, testing, unstable, ${ARCH}, ~${ARCH}) and just run your distro's update tool. Does anyone actually use stable stuff? Sheesh, the kernel in Sarge alone is over ten months out of date.

Sounds like somebody has a case of the <a href="http://gentoo.org/">Gentoo</a>'s.

If you're going to convert everythign to htmlentitites, at least convert the newlines too!

I definitely have a case of the Gentoo's :( And, also, I suppose I should just fix my posting engine.
