sid does *not* break, period. it depends on what you are doing. if you have thousands of packages installed instead of hundreds, you are more likely to see conflicts and broken packages, however, if you have a relatively constant setup sid works well. ive been running sid for 4 to 5 years and there have been glitches (maybe severe ones once a year), but by-in-large if i want to try new software, i run aptitude and install it. it works and doesnt break. let me finish with this thought: all computer software breaks. its true, if you use it long enough, or install enough of it, you will experience breakage. then you have to fix it. sid is no different. -matt zagrabelny -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
