If you know, how to pull yourself out of the mud, are able to file bug reports, read bug reports und know how to use apt-listchanges and apt-listbugs, _then_ you can use Sid. (Been doing that for over 15 years myself.) If one wants to use Sid, he/she should know about the following things: - how to boot your system from a rescue medium (and have one ready) - how to unpack a DEB without using the Debian tools and only with "ar" - how to identify a broken library and revert to a working one - be able to interpret linker error messages - know where to find the relevant system log files and how to read them - how to pin pacakges to a specific version - know about snapshot.debian.org - tracker.debian.org - https://release.debian.org/transitions/ - how to rebuild a package using pbuilder/cowbuilder/sbuild - debug packages and basic GDB usage - reportbug - generally understand how a Linux boot works If one needs an always working system, she/he better stick with Stable or Testing (as soon as it has cooled down enough).
