No. if you have gone through a Sarge/testing to Etch/testing transition you will know what it is like. Ok, first off, my sig is informational. If someone/anyone thinks huh?? and then goes off to check their /etc/apt/sources.lst entries for the first time the the sig has done its job. IOW, if you are just starting out with Debian, say from Windows, then you will most likely not want any surprises and be better off running Etch/stable instead of Lenny/testing. Especially if you are doing "bread and butter" work. Second off, if you know what you are doing, then you won't take any notice. :-) (disclaimer: you in this context is meant in the general sense.) -- Chris. ====== Don't forget to check that your /etc/apt/sources.lst entries point to etch and not testing, otherwise you may end up with a broken system once etch goes stable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
