Testing (currently sarge) gets all software that has survived for 10 days in unstable without any serious bug reports, so it can be considered reasonably stable. Note, though, that testing does not generally get security updates as quickly as either stable or unstable - in order for a security update to make it in, it has to either go through the standard 10 day wait, or be specifically uploaded by the security team to testing/updates on security.d.o, which doesn't happen too often. All that being said, I track testing on my desktop, and have since there was a testing. There are some occasional breakages, but usually few, and you usually see them discussed on this list pretty quickly. Steve -- Be open to other people -- they may enrich your dream.
