I do keep an eye on bug reports and security alerts, and whenever something is quirky and not otherwise reported as a bug, I ask here first in case I'm doing something wrong (always a possibility) and then if no solution arises, document as well as possible and submit a bug. I'd do the same if I was running Stable (Woody) or Unstable (Sid). To the OP - just remember, however, that Woody is about as up-to-date as Windows XP, but vastly more reliable. Unstable is bleeding edge, but, well, still more stable than XP ;) -- Mark L.
