Depends on which one you grab. There are actually several. As for
slink, it has been quite stable, so far, IMO. OTOH, it is only frozen so
things may change a little bit more, but generally for the better.
At home my LAN is all tied into my Linux box which doesn't run any
single Debian distribution. I built it on Hamm(Frozen) and have followed
the unstable tree since then. So some parts are Hamm, some are Slink, some
are Potato. The last time I made a change which required a reset (kernel
from the 2.0 series to the 2.1 series) I had a 60 day uptime. After I got
it stable (took me a few days) it has been running happy ever since and is
currently at "up 15 days, 20:25". As always, though, YMMV.

Not difficult at all. Problem is since there is not ICQ ipmasqing
module incoming connections will always be refused.
