I'm using the .deb from testing with absolutely no problem. I
believe that I ran an apt-get dist-upgrade to unstable(sid) and then did an
apt-get install mozilla. I also installed the psm .deb. From what I've
experienced so far, 0.9.5 is pretty fast. Not as fast as it is on Mac OS
X, but fast.
On an unrelated note, unstable has proven to be pretty stable. I
also use FreeBSD quite a bit and Debian is the only GNU/Linux distro that
seems to run as smoothly. If I could find a way to get apt/dpkg to tell me
each .deb I have installed like pkg_info on FreeBSD does, I would say both
OS's would be about equal in greatness.
