sidux tries to put out 4 releases a year, sid is constantly changing, and so to upgrade an aging release involves a larger and larger dist-upgrade, so any new install benefits from frequent releases.
Since each release is built from the latest kernels and the latest packages from Debian Sid, it is a good starting point for any install.
Of course, since sidux, like Debian Sid and Testing, is a rolling release, you should in general need to install it only one time per machine, then you upgrade continuously after that.
So unlike say Ubuntu or Fedora, where if you want to upgrade to latest, you MUST reinstall to latest release, this is never the case with sidux, the latest release is merely the starting point to enter into the rolling release cycle. This concept for some reason is somewhat difficult for people indoctrinated into the endless reinstall cycle of most other lnux distros except Debian, Arch and Gentoo to understand. |

But they get into the news. Not only with releases but also with alpha and beta releases.
It is odd though on desktops. I started Linux with Fedora, and having to wait for a next release to get new features - or worse - the newest software ... I never really got used to it. I even thought of switching to Fedora Rawhide but I never dared it. Kanotix (the then rolling release) and now sidux was/is a revelation.

A new release also allows for fundamental changes enabled by default, like using Dash instead of Bash for boot scripts, which have to be applied manually by those already 'rolling'.
The concept of a rolling release should be natural to people coming from Windows. They might only get a new release when they buy new hardware.  |
