Thanks all for reply!
On my 32bit Systems I am using sid since a couple of years with best
experiences.
OK, It migth be, that for one or 2 weeks something doesn't work, but that's OK
for me. Since the transition of X11R7 started, I downgraded to testing
because of the known problems.
But I was confused to read "everywhere" (google), that testing on AMD64 should
already work and to find, that no mirror provides the packages.
Thanks to all again. I think, the 32bit version works fine for now and I wait,
until amd64 for testing is available.
Kind Regards
Matthias
