If you're constantly upgrading unstable, then it can be a bit, well, unstable. However generally I tend to get start out with an unstable system that works, and then just upgrade individual packages as necessary; this limits the size of changes and in the rare case of problems really narrows down where to start looking (e.g. keep away from dist-upgrade). > What about the kernel?

Any of the recent 2.6 kernels should work fine on that machine. -i
