>From my (relatively long-gone) short, IIRC, experiences with testing:
Testing isn't *that* much different from unstable, when it comes to
stability. But the advantage of unstable is that the updates/fixes for
packages seemed coming faster than in testing ...
But yes: unstable *is* unstable ... :) People using it should bring
with them lots of time, a huge package of humor, and the will to risk
running the system ugly against a wall without wondering that their
system really is now dead and gone and ready for repair: And if people
cannot laugh about this last sentence, they probably should not
install unstable. Never-ever ... :)

*** 1:
the above Firefox says this about its version:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.8.1b1)
Gecko/20060708 BonEcho/2.0b1 (Debian-1.99+2.0b1+dfsg-1)
*** 2:
I can see from the features it has that it's different to previous
non-2.0 versions. IIRC the non-2.0 features. These new features might
be minor, but I like them ... :)
HTH
