I suppose they have to put some kind of arbitrary limits on Linux. Can't have it being too good I guess. I hear Gentoo is a rolling distribution with no versions and it never hits EOL. When I fix the broken Squeeze upgrade on this box maybe I'll try Gentoo out on it myself. If I wanted to be forced to upgrade I'd run Windows.

If anyone thinks getting Lenny to do this is easy:

They just haven't seen this yet:

So I'm afraid I won't be taking their advise and upgrading any time too soon here.
