I wont argue with you cause your right.. If debian is known for anything its 
for stability and security..
But they're also a LONG way behind everyone else in their versions..
its a give and take situation... Also I yet haven't seen a version of Gentoo 
that I'd use for mission critical production..
But then Hardened Gentoo isn't that far behind... And when I get around to 
it I'll give it a go...

>>Gentoo tends to fix security holes by moving to the latest upstream
