sid is the unstable debian tree, and there's really a good
reason why it's called unstable - if something breaks, you get
to keep the pieces. *grin*
Seriously, IMHO I wouldn't use it. Get a hold of the latest
stable (I think it's still 3.0r1) and once installed, point to
testing and install from there.

My suggestion would be to use the latest stable and upgrade to
testing from there. If you want to use sid, it's probably safer
to go to testing first...
I hope this helps... Good luck!
