I use my laptop about 90% under potato and 10% Win98.  I do a 'dselect
update; apt-get -fudy dselect-upgrade' every morning and generally
upgrade.

I always compile kernels for the laptop rather than install the potato
ones though.

Every now and again something important screws up big time but I don't
kill the package cache very often and so I can usually go back to
previous versions of things.  I also have some working versions of
_really_ important packages floating around for truly desparate times
:-)

I've got several of the guys in the office running potato now too but
all of our production servers are still running slink.

Cheers,
					Andrew.
