David Sanders said: So, a small question - How suicidal is crossgrading back to Debian by altering my APT sources? I've seen a few blogs saying it works, and I do have a lot of customised stuff on my main laptop which I'd prefer not to have to recompile. I'm pretty technically-adept and don't mind fixing a few issues, but I'd just like to get any horror stories or otherwise that anyone has.

I'm sure it would be at the very least unstable as well.. Really I think you'll have to bite the bullet and take it as it comes.
