Personally, I've had a lot better luck only selectively upgrading packages (and the pkgs they depend on) to unstable. Why subject your whole system to the very latest and riskiest when only a few packages change quickly enough to warrant the risk. My laptop runs X and pcmcia unstable since X 4.x.x has better apm and neomagic handling and I have ethernet cards that don't work under old pcmcia packages. But the rest of my system comes from stable. -- T
