I came to the belief one debian release ago that the best place to be was as close as possible to the majority of the developers. This explains the following: # cat /etc/debian_version testing/unstable # > I really would rather go with option 1.

I can't remember the last bug which actually caused me grief. I think it must have been the libfreetype6 one for AA fonts in KDE. But I have been running non-AA KDE for months now. I am currently having a problem with xlibs not getting installed, but it isn't hosing my system. I think (hope?) that the days of "broken bash", and "no more /dev" are over. I will only use Debian unstable from now on. Any other Debian becomes more and more unmaintained as time passes. I can't deal with that. This is my work laptop, and even though it _must_ work all the time, I am quite fine with testing/unstable. rob
