Gee, why didn't you stay with Debian 1.0, you could still be running 
since 1997 without needs to go down for upgrades (or security patches??)

No security patches to your kernel since 2002?  You are asking for 
trouble.  I could easily be still running Red Hat 5.0..

You started off your response with:

'Lemme list a few reasons I use Debian-stable on my servers:'

So that item is irrelevant to your posting.

Still got you beat.
