The contents of "Unstable" eventually become the next major release (Potato, or Debian 2.2, or whatever) once they all work together in reasonably bug-free fashion. Buggy "contrib" files might be too buggy to fit into the official part of the next disty, or simply may lack a developer who has the time to bring them up to speed. Buggy and unstable aren't synonyms, in other words. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Shupp California State University, Northridge Graduate Student, Dept. of Anthropology http://www.csun.edu/~ms44278/index.htm
