When writing software for customers, that's exactly what I do. (Besides: I try to program against a library /documentation/, not a library). Debian stable is my "gold standard". Of course I test-build and test against testing, to have some idea of what's to come. I can't stand those "applications" (Ruby, Python, I'm looking at you) which have to run in some kind of "virtual environment". Cheers -- t
