I'm an inexpert user, but I find testing to be fine. I've had no problems
that can't be attributed to my inexperience with Debian. I've been
running
it since woody was released - i.e. I installed woody and then immediately
started to track testing. I can't vouch for what happens when you do an
upgrade when the two versions are very different, but it should work OK.
