I remember peeking in this mailing list, a couple of years ago, looking for answers to a similar question. So I'll assume he doesn't:as a Debian newbie, I also used to look forwards to new features in "testing"; then I learnt how to track "testing" after installing "stable", and I ceased to worry. Of course, IF you have a server running woody, and you REALLY need a feature in testing, it may be annoying; but if your problem is on workstation, just go ahead and use testing, it's surely more stable than... most other Linux distributions, for example. Ciao, Francesco. P.S. If you don't know how to track "testing", have a look at http://qref.sourceforge.net/Debian/reference/ch-woody.en.html
