Debian installation is quite new and might not work on every
installation (that's why there is a WORK IN PROGRESS on top of it ;) ).
Please do not hesitate to share your problem here, you'll receive help
and you'll help Debian becoming a fully working installation.<br>
<br>
Yes Squeeze is officially a stable version for a week, so now, lenny may be (IMO) considered as an "old install". <br>
<br>
If you dare, I suggest you to try the next coming version of ROS because
dependencies are better managed. It is currently in a release candidate
state, so it's close to be the new newest version.<br>
