The Debian security updates are reportedly kept current, but since I 
don't run a server this is of little interest to me.
What particular apps do you need to be cutting edge?  Obviously this is 
a matter of personal needs.  I do not update willy nilly  because I 
don't have broadband, and because what I need to runs fine and gets my 
work done.  I am deliberately not updating because having functional 
Paradox and QuattroPro (via WPO2KL) is more important to me than having 
the absolute latest glibc 2.3.2, which as I mentioned earlier is poison 
to WPO2KL.

Libranet earns its keep on my machines (and a few of my $ for its 
makers) by coming out from time to time with a well assembled distro I 
do not have to piece together or futz with interminably to get to work.  
I have expectations from my experience with Caldera eDesk 2.4 that, so 
far, only Libranet meets.
