Try Sidux: http://sidux.com , it is basically Sid with support. They have nice forums where you can find lots of tips on how to keep your system working when problems occur. > I used testing for years but got fed up of waiting for updates.

Running Sid requires keeping up with Debian. You need to follow bug reports, read mailings lists and know Debian internals. > 2. Are Debian packages compiled with optimisations (eg -03)?

I would say that they break on average once per week. You can watch debian weather website. It has up-to-date information about the dependencies: http://edos.debian.net/weather -- ___. / \ .___ "Y/|\ | 0 o / /|\Y" '^^V /|\ 'v'^^' -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
