     Another option is to get a CD of the unstable distribution.
While no commercial distributors offer silver CDs of unstable, there
are a number of Debian developers (some listed on the web page) who
will burn gold CDs to order.  This will cost more than a mass-produced
slver CD, but it is not exorbitant.
