I agree debian stable has some fairly old software, that's why I run
debian testing. While it may not include the latest and greatest
versions of a lot of packages, it includes newer versions than stable
does and still results in a reasonably stable system. If you want the
latest version of a software package, like gaim for instance, compile it
yourself. It's all a matter of personal opinion: you can start with a
system that has the latest (and perhaps unstable) version of almost all
packages (i.e. Red Hat) or you can start with a system that has older
(and probably more stable) versions of most packages and add newer
versions of the particular packages that you need.
that's my two cents...
