As you wrote you've implied that unstable is better for older hardware than is stable. Is that what you meant? Most advanced users probably would say the opposite, stable best for older hardware, less likely to break hardware support before security support ends. FWIW, I have at least twice as many Debian installations as I do *buntu. > I would like to mention SolydXK, a rolling distribution based on Debian > stable. Works very well, comes with sudo but easily converted to su (*much* > easyer than Ubuntu) and I could even install kernel 4.8 without any problem. Easy on *buntu, simply 'sudo passwd root' plus a password makes root ready to use. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
