If you have never used a bash shell or are not comfortable with it, or are not comfortable with vi/vim and editing Linux config files with such, then I suggest you stay far, far away from any Debian testing/unstable release. Things will break and you'll be required to work from the CLI (command line interface, i.e. bash and vi) to fix them. For instance, if X (GUI desktop) breaks, and you can't get to Icedove to email a bug report or get help from this list, or log onto a web help forum through Iceweasel, what then can/will you do? If you don't have another PC available to do such things, then you're completely dead in the water with your hosed "cutting edge" system, and will have to stick that old Ubuntu hard disk back in to allow communication with the outside world. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
