So,

I have used Ubuntu forever and a day on my laptop because it "just works".
That said my ears perked earlier this week at the announcement from mint
going to debian and becoming a rolling release. I like and fear this rolling
release thing but when it comes down to it I end up upgrading things via ppa
or source anyway so it really is not that different. That all said I see
with 10.10 ubuntu is going to have an "extras" repo which
essentially accomplishes the same thing. So anyway what are your opinions on
sticking to the devil I know and love or getting back closer to debian with
mint
