If it's not in Debian, it's because the Debian developers made it so. I can't
stand Debian mainly for the fact that they're so far behind in the times it's
ridiculous. They can claim "stable" but newer versions of software is out there
that is much more stable, and they don't include it (unless you use their
*unstable* branch, which is still behind other rolling distros).

If you like Debian and all it's worth, but want the latest and greatest that's
tested and stabilized.. try Archlinux. LOVE IT.

Regards,
Nick
