Hi,
I am setting up a dual boot with debian and want to experiment with it
as a desktop. I am wondering which would be the best version to go for,
Stable, Testing , Unstable. I run Stable at the moment with for a
server, but wondering if testing would be a better option for a desktop
as I would also like to implement steam under wine(and the other one I
can't remember at the moment)
Can somebody with some experience please offer some advice.
This used to be a frequent question on this list and I had the same questions
when I started using Debian. So I wrote an FAQ on this which can be found at
http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/debian_choosing_distribution.html
After reading this, if you have more questions, please let me know. Then I
will
change the FAQ accordingly. Input from new users is very important for such
FAQs.

Excellent FAQ I think. You might want to update #17:
"Currently Debian does not offer any security updates to testing or
unstable. So make sure that you remove the lines relating to security
updates of stable in /etc/apt/sources.list ."
Debian does have security updates for testing now.
