SID will deviate from Sarge further and further, and with the gcc transition there already are Library incompatibilities, which may cause real headaches later on. Generally running mixed environments works, as long as the two dists don'Ät deviate too far from each other. Stable + Etch or SID should genrally be avoided in my opinion. That just causes more problems than it is worth in the long run. Combining Etch (testing) with SID (unstable) is simpler, as long one doesn't "flood" the testing system with SID packages. As often the answer is more like "it depends" than a general resolution ;-) Patrick -- Patrick Dreker GPG KeyID : 0xFCC2F7A7 (Patrick Dreker) Fingerprint: 7A21 FC7F 707A C498 F370 1008 7044 66DA FCC2 F7A7 Key available from keyservers
