I don’t necessarily disagree with you as to why it was named stable. But, as a user of Debian for my daily driver for 25 years, I think there is no doubt that Debian stable is more stable in the manner being described here than Debian testing. (Think of those periodic emails when something serious breaks that say, “That’s why it is called testing.”) But along those lines, when talking to users who aren’t familiar with Debian and are sometimes put off by the name testing, I tell them that Debian testing is simply the rolling release. In fact, I would probably consider it the most stable of all rolling Linux releases. So, if you are the type of person who updates your packages every day, you probably can’t do better than Debian testing. That being said, when KDE 6 drops into testing soon, I expect there to be a few days where not everything works. That’s just par for the course. -- Soren Stoutner soren@debian.org
