You've just reminded me of something, checking Ubuntu LTS, which is what 
I installed for one server at developer insistence:

root at myserver:~# cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=intrepid
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.10"
root at myserver:~# cat /etc/debian_version
lenny/sid

SID! hmmm... and this was Ubuntu "server" edition and LTS as well. So 
Ubuntu *is* less stable and has more updates than Debian Stable? (and 
Rhel/CentOS)
