Features
Aptosid is based on Debian's most modern branch, sid. They include a manual and a collection of tools and scripts to make desktop administration easier.
One of aptosid's more notable features, unlike most other Linux distributions, they utilize a true 'rolling-release-cycle', and thus continue to remain current. Users can update all of the system's packages via the command 'apt-get dist-upgrade'. Through this model, there should not, in theory, ever be a need to overwrite an aptosid system by installing an entirely new version. Other Linux distributions that use the rolling release model include Arch Linux, Sabayon and Linux Mint Debian Edition.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“Art is the child of Nature; yes,
Her darling child, in whom we trace
The features of the mother’s face,
Her aspect and her attitude.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
