Eventually, Debian stable becomes too old, and Debian unstable keeps getting farther and farther from it. We will eventually move to something newer, maybe the latest Ubuntu LTS. It&#x27;s always a tradeoff between stability and freshness, which is subjective and varies from sysadmin to sysadmin. Worst case scenario: we have to build newer packages ourselves on top of an old, stable repo. That is also not too hard for us.<p>----<p>We do have one server running Arch though; we run every service on it that we have in production and some more, and less effort has gone into to it than any of our production servers individually. I think that&#x27;s primarily because packaging for Arch is just so simple.
