[SNIP mon mail précedant]

T'es sur de ce que tu dis ?

Ce n'est pas ce qui est marqué la :
http://www.debian.org/releases/
"Debian always has at least three releases in active maintenance:
``stable'', ``testing'' and ``unstable''.

stable
    The ``stable'' distribution contains the latest officially released
distribution of Debian.

    This is the production release of Debian, the one which we primarily
recommend using.

The current ``stable'' distribution of Debian GNU/Linux is version 3.0r0,
codenamed woody. It was released on July 19th, 2002.

testing
    The ``testing'' distribution contains packages that haven't been
accepted into a ``stable'' release yet, but they are in the queue for
that. The main advantage of using this distribution is that it has more
recent versions of software, and the main disadvantage is that it's not
completely tested and has no official support from Debian security team.

    See the Debian FAQ for more information on what is ``testing'' and how
it becomes ``stable''.

The current ``testing'' distribution is sarge.

unstable
    The ``unstable'' distribution is where active development of Debian
occurs. Generally, this distribution is run by developers and those who
like to live on the edge.

The ``unstable'' distribution is called sid
