Re: About apt-get dist-upgrade
I agree the ,helixcode stuff needs to be unstable, for everything
else you will be much better in the long run if you track one
thing and going by stable testing or unstable is better IMHO
because when a new version goes stable you will then get that
without having to mess with your sources. Also keep in mind that
running apt-get update on a regular basis is a good thing as this
will get you any packages that have been added. That having been
said stable will be very stable and for the most part you will
only get new stuff from security and when it goes to 2.2r3 (or
whatever in the future). BTW I suggest that you might change to
the new name (ximian)for the Xiamian stuff.
