Gentoo is a rolling release. I prefer the "stable" philosophy of Debian -- basically only bug and security fixes. I've been running Wheezy now for 5 years, and it's, for all practical purposes, the "same" as when I installed it. After such a time, a rolling release would be a completely different animal versionwise. I've tried rolling releases before. They are usually cutting edge and more problematical (Unless they've gotten a lot better). I want something that works for years and doesn't break. That's one of the reasons I chose Debian five years ago. Now, because of the systemd thing, I'm looking at alternatives. > Those who are OK with systemd should stick with Debian. After much reading, I consider systemd more suited to large, busy servers than a desktop box or notebook with just one user. It's like being forced to use a huge tractor-trailer rig with lots of chrome and lights and 24 gears when a simple mini-van will do. ;-) B
