I've been running testing for years; almost everything works fine here
currently. I gave up on the Debian nvidia (legacy 173....) packages and
installed them from the nvidia site. Opera is so slow that it's unusable
here, but it works fine on my home box (i386); I haven't been able to figure out
what the cause is. I have had to put off upgrading, or pull in some packages
from unstable, a few times in the last few years in order to maintain the box
with the software that I have installed.
