AIUI, Debian "lives" for stable. Testing is where testing takes place for the next stable. Sid/unstable is the developers playground, which may *intentionally* break sometimes. Despite that you get reasonably up to date software it is not meant to be run as such by the general populace. "People tend to get aggravated" when they don't understand the purpose of the stable/testing/unstable structure. -- 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".
