I'll have to disagree :} on the "new packages" part. While
apt-get'ing security fixes may be easier than manually ftp'ing
after having received the security alert ( I don't mind the mildly
more involved approach), I have to say that I find trying to
install packages that the maintainers didn't find necessary to
update (and no, just because I want a newer version of postgres
I don't necessarily want to dist-upgrade) I much prefer Slackware
*because* it doesn't have any dependency checks.
