Sid, yes. There are a TON of things waiting to enter Sid. Uploading has been limited to those things being done for Etch. Unless you are uploading to experimental. There is a reason it called a freeze. But, yes, Sid might be okay for those paths less traveled. I guarantee that the major "sets of packages" like GNOME, KDE... pretty much most anything with a "team" is gonna be like riding an untamed bull. Packages will be uploaded at a furious pace one the freeze is off. It has been this way, since freezing became the way of life for Debian. I am not saying it is a bad thing, just that those that have been using Sid since a few months after Sarge's release... please standby. It is an experience most Linux user MUST encounter, before they understand what Debian's "Stable" is really all about. I actually enjoyed watching the last transition on the mailing lists. You think 400-500 messages a day are bad, just wait. It is all good, it gives me the chance to improve my knowledge, typing skills and ability to give "RTFM" and "STFW" answers. It also allows me to help other people to fix problems and to perhaps give back to this community. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
