And how would then Debian continue releasing stable? Debian is especially known for its stable release (prolly too much for it). Also there are some problems with rolling releases - something may break at unexpected point of time (just like in testing/unstable/experimental). Without Sid we wouldn't have testbed for updates/upgrades making system much less stable overall - and by then you could as well use Arch. Besides you can use Testing as (kind-of) rolling distribution (or if you want slightly newer packages then Sid or Sid/Experimental (I was using Sid/experimental for long time, and it worked nicely, until I tried playing with Linux containers (land of brevity, especially when you don't know what you are doing) on my main system). There was proposal for Constantly-Usable-Testing (CUT) as another release of Debian, but I don't know too much about it. darkestkhan ------------------------------------------ Feel free to CC me. jid: darkestk...@gmail.com May The Source be with You. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
