For those of you who thought Debian Stable wasn't stable enough, Michael Larabel over at Phoronix is reporting that Debian 6.0 "Squeeze" is being turned into an LTS release.
Regular security support for Debian 6.0 "Squeeze" was set to end after next month, but now the Debian developers have decided to provide security support for this 2011 Debian Linux release until February 2016 - marking five years since the original Debian 6.0 release.

The fglrx-legacy backported to wheezy works for the hd2400, sees t_Legacy_13.1 [debian.org]

The LTS is a good thing, many servers do not need anything more than security upgrades who don't break stuff.
And I think I will keep wheezy stuff around until systemd either matures or becomes replaceable, whichever happens first. I know little about systemd but when I hear stuff like "we incorporate systemd because we can't split udev easily" a chill runs through my data bus.

Thanks! I didn't know wheezy had back ported fglrx! Kick ass!!! I might still try the arch dist for fun, but this will be my new Linux distro.
