Hi
Fedora has a low level of stability;
If you want a more stable distribution you can use
"Libranet GNU/Linux"
Its a disto built on the base of debian sarge and has a high stability;
But if you have a high speed connection to internet I prefer
you to download the debian sarge after 15 september.
That distro has 14 CD`s but is new stable and fastest
distribution yet;
Good Luck

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN
debian::debget
Debian::Debget(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Debian::Debget(3pm)
NAME
Debian::Debget - helper functions used by debget et al
SYNOPSIS
XXX
DESCRIPTION
These are functions used by debget and related scripts, but you can use them, too. I will do everything possible to retain backwards
compatibility for the interfaces documented here.
Most of these functions will "die" if they're called in a context (scalar, list) which doesn't match what they expect. This is so that I
will be able to change them to return something different in the other context without breaking old code.
IMPORTABLES
binary_package_info package
This function returns some information about a binary package.
If the package isn't found nothing is returned. If it is found, the return value is a data structure like this:
$r->{$distribution}{$architecture} = $version;
# $distribution => 'stable', 'experimental', etc.
# $architecture => 'i386', 'powerpc', etc.
If something goes seriously wrong binary_package_info will "die".
source_package_info package
This function returns some information about a source package.
If the package isn't found nothing is returned. If it is found, the return value is a data structure like this:
$r->{$distribution} = [$version, @binary_package_list];
# $distribution => 'stable', 'experimental', etc.
# $version => '123.4-5', etc.
# @binary_package_list => qw(nethack-common nethack-x11), etc.
cmp_debian_versions v1, v2
This is like "cmp" for Debian package version numbers. It is prototyped to take 2 scalar arguments, so it can be used as-is as a
"sort" comparison function.
upstream_version debian-version
This returns the upstream version extracted from the given debian-version
pool_dir package
This returns the pool directory (starting at the "pool/" level) in which files for package are stored. package can be either a binary
or source package name.
