 === Debian === === Debian ===
 +One of the old lads that many other Distros are based on. Generally it's LTS versions are quite stable and well tested. Has minimal amount of software included. Because it's stable, well tested, well supported, and receives few updates it makes for a solid server OS. It's packages can be pretty out of date, so as a desktop distro it's not recomended for all users. If you mostly just browse the web and watch anime it's fine, if you're going to use your OS for gaming, programming, sysadmining I'd pick something else.

 +=== sid ===
 +This is Debian's unstable branch, sid. According to Linux Mom, VKC/Veronica Explains, it's p good for desktop use. She's an oldschool sysadmin/dev (COBOL, mainframes, linux, etc.) and apparently meets her desktop needs well. Have never used.

Used to be the preferred user-friendly ezpz babies first desktop linux distro. Canonical has ignored it and it's quality and reliability as a desktop OS has waned. Is fine as a server OS imo, but there's better options.
