fedora vs. Debian?

[Jude DaShiell]

Debian has an unstable release one can upgrade to after the stable release 
has been installed.  There's even an experimental release for the really 
brave souls.  It's a matter of editing /etc/apt/sources.list and changing 
stable in that file to unstable and you might want to add contrib and 
non-free to those lines.  After that, try an aptitude dist-upgrade command 
and see what happens.  You do know about apt-cache search "search string" 
| less right?  That's how you find out about new software that's 
available.
