Staying with Squeeze is going to become increasingly infeasible for people who want the latest accessibility-related tools, especially Orca and Gnome. This is one of the reasons why I run Sid - Debian stable is too stable (read, unchanging) for my purposes, but it's ideal if you need that kind of stability. There is also a move in Debian toward a constantly usable testing distribution, which could be a good option for many of those who need something more recent than stable but who don't want to be trying the very latest packages all the time. In practice, at least in my experience, it's surprising how little breakage occurs in Sid. Most of the time, I can just keep upgrading without any negative side effects. I wouldn't recommend it, though, for people who haven't yet learned system administration to the point at which they can work their way out of problems that may arise and downgrade packages appropriately. On the other hand, I started using Sid about a year after moving to Linux in the late 90s, at which point I was still relatively new to administering the system, though somewhat more experienced as a user, based on prior UNIX knowledge. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-accessibility-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
