What is the opinion of Debian Squeeze?
S'good. I like Debian a lot. For a no-Xorg installation Debian's going to be functionally the same as Ubuntu, really.
I may give that a go. I am sitting here trying to install CentOS on an older (not real old) box with a 500GB and 1.5TB hdd and it seems like it's stuck on formatting. Been here for for 15 minutes at least. I'm going to go shopping and see what it's like when I get back. If it's still like this then I'll try Squeeze.
(hug) Thanks! I did try but it was showing differently between different previews.
I thought I read somewhere they're extending support? Oh yeah, LTS server and desktop are getting the same length of support now.
But yeah, I totally forgot about the short support time for none LTS releases until I tried to update the old XBMC HTPC at my parents over christmas and apt-get update wouldn't do a thing. I think I'll stick with LTS releases from now on. I don't quite enjoy full system reinstalls like I used to! (Probably why I've not bothered with Windows 8 yet, whereas in the past I used betas and RCs of XP, Vista and 7)
