Anything against unstable debian distributions?

[Ranty <ranty@soon.com>]

	I want to install tkstep but for that I need libc6 which conflicts with
libc5 and when I try to uninstall switch libc5 with libc6 were is a lot of
aplications which want to go away.

	I thought of using a newer unstable distribution with all those
aplications copiled for libc6 but then... How unstable are those distributions?
Why are they called unstable?...

	I would apreciate any sugestion.
		Thanks in advace:
