Or am I misunderstanding this? anti-X is based on Debian which is rolling and is stated to be rolling. I'm *assuming* that means that MX is ALSO rolling because it is also anti-X and also based on Debian, albeit MX is on Debian stable and anti-X parent is on Debian testing. How well rolling releases 'hold up' has been the subject of some investigation by Jesse Smith of DistroWatch. Last year he tested 5 rolling releases, PCLOS, openSUSE, Debian, Arch, and PC-BSD over a 5 week period and compared the experiences with each other. http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20141110#rolling I think there are sufficient advantages and disadvantages to both/each fixed vs rolling releases that neither type release strategy holds a clear advantage. How subject one's rolling release distro is to 'breakage' is an important consideration. -- Mike Easter
