Debian 2.2 vs. 2.2r2?

[Tiger]

What's the difference?

I've got Slack 7.1 coming and am eager to do a distro "cage match". http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

I believe only security fixes (and IIRC, a few updated packages, but only when a new version was urgently needed). Typically Debian revisions (i.e. 2.2r1, 2.2r2, 2.2r3, etc) are quite small changes, and very well tested -- in other words, you can apply them to production servers without problems.

If you want new packages, just track Debian 'unstable' or 'testing'.

the r2 was merely all the very important apps got an upgrade that was more than just bug fix. But its not nerely as huge a difference as say kernel 2.2.x and 2.4.0
