it should probably be ok, but once if it was my system and i had upgraded to
testing(i haven't yet..not sure if i want to) i wouldn't do upgrades too
often.
if you have the time and patience go at it. i originally started using unix
because i was sick of the broken stuff on win32. people on the list should
always be able to help you through problems that arise.
i don't have the patience to work through dependency nightmares though, what
i got in potato works good, some of it is outdated, but its also very stable.
if it were my systems i wouldn't use testing, even on 'testing' machines,
at least not yet. i didn't start using potato until RC1 last year(or did
they call it beta 1? i forget) probably won't start using woody until about
the same time(i.e. long after it has frozen and stuff).
i just reinstalled my desktop on friday or saturday because my hd died
and im using potato again!
good luck
nate
