Windows users get bots, worms and viruses and regularly have to reinstall, Debian Unstable (desktop) users get occasional *partial* breakage that is (usually) quickly resolved. And never have to descend into RPM Hell. On the whole, I'll stick with Sid. BTW, since I started with Debian back in the KDE 2.2.1 days, KDE has always been a bit behind in Debian. IIMU that it is because of packaging complexity. > I think what you are saying is that if your are very carefull (read lots of > lists), and if you don't use a desktop manager, *then* you won't have > breakage for years.

However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFAtFLS9HxQb37XmcRAovRAKCgt+xr8K+rzavpH+3TPlz4SyJ+gQCfXKS/ eV1D7mKZFhYSgAixyv/ieQ0= =4REn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
