If you do this, it will pick the stable package is there is no testing package available. But taking out the lines containing "testing" won't give you a downgrade if you decide you want to go back. Downgrading isn't so easy. -- hendrik > > Also, don't change the "security" line; leave it at stable. testing doesn't get the so-called security upgrades, which are carefully chosen upgrades for stable to maintain security while changing as little as possible.
