I run unstable and do aptitude upgrades every day on all three of my home systems (server, firewall, desktop). Systems I manage for my work generally run stable (except for a couple of desktop systems that run unstable and get upgraded once a week). I've never run into any significant problems that left my system in an completely unusable state, although I am careful to run apt-listbugs before my upgrades. I also know how to downgrade stuff from snapshot.debian.net, and have done so on many occasions when an update from unstable has broken something. -- Dave Carrigan Seattle, WA, USA dave@rudedog.org | http://www.rudedog.org/ | ICQ:161669680 UNIX-Apache-Perl-Linux-Firewalls-LDAP-C-C++-DNS-PalmOS-PostgreSQL-MySQL Dave is currently listening to Rheostatics - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (Melville)
