A late reply -- sid is pretty stable for most people. It helps a lot if you install apt-listbugs however. Here's a quickie I wrote up on that and what it does... note the bits in red: http://www.livejournal.com/community/debian/102656.html Also, if you go to exit dselect and it points out some packages with updated versions having unsatisfied dependencies, I find it's best to hold those to avoid marginal configurations. With a little care, sid hasn't left me with a non-working system in some years. A few times, I've been bitten by having to manually update some configuration information, but that's always been detailed in the change list. Adding apt-listchanges will help there, as well. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
