Saw the post here regarding CentOS’s off-springs and a couple of people brought up the excellent point of: why play with fire? Let’s just stick to Debian.

The only disadvantage I currently see is the outdated packages, and I’m curious whether makedeb solves them. Does anyone here use it regularly? How stable and comfortable is it? Did you write your own PKGBUILDs?

    Outdated is relative. You want stable builds with backported security updates and bug fixes and a new major release every year and half? Then stable is for you.

    If you want a rolling release with occasional bugs then use testing/Sid.
