Hmm, I thought about that for quite some time. Stable is way too old for some 
things I need to do with the server, unstable really sometimes is unsatable. 
I noticed that on my desktop but there it's ok. I usually have a close look 
at security annoucements. Worst case scenario is that I have to build my own 
fixes until a new package is released. Even though it's another subject, does 
running unstable on a server make any sense? Does it work fairly decent? The 
machine is not that critical.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that. I have all those packages installed.
