With 2.2 I moved over to testing after r3 as I needed stuff that was available only in testing. With 3.0 and did the usual dist-upgrade, but as I been really using testing and unstable for quite awhile I can't say I noticed anything major. That said I'll be doing a clean install of 3.0 next week maybe it'll be more obvious then. > It's surely a lot more effect[sic] than inventing > history to suit your > needs. Very quickly then, I worked in a consultancy begin of the 90s doing UNIX stuff (Solaris/SunOS/SCO/SGI) in the City (London). UNIX stuff slowly started to slowly dry up after Win 95 came out and more so when NT arrived properly. There is a reverse trend now thank goodness and Linux is right at the front :-).
