Etch Is Still Better
I’m not sure why, but after testing Lenny several different ways, Etch is still better. In fact, Lenny is downright inferior.
After messing around with Ubuntus, Lenny, then Win2K, then XP, then openSUSE 10.3, I’m back to Etch. I just found out the other day it’s still being supported under the Debian scheme of “old-stable.” The patches will continue until about February 2010. That’s very good news, because Lenny can’t hold a candle to Etch.
On this Inspiron 4100, Etch installed faster, more accurately identified the hardware, and did a much better job of configuring it. Lenny was bloated and slow on this machine, and Etch is the fastest thing I’ve tried so far.
