Everywhere I read something about Debian, I hear them complaining about out-of-date software compared to bleeding edge...

Hallvor wrote:I think many Debian users have followed this pattern:
1. Gets tired of Windows, starts using GNU/Linux.
2. Gets annoyed by all the "old" packages of the largest distros.
3. Moves to rolling release distro.
4. Gets annoyed by all the breakage. Just wants a system that works all the time.
5. Moves to Debian.

1. Backports
2. Testing
3. Unstable
So what are the complaints that programs under Debian are not up to date?
