Actually unstable is usually quite stable. Testing can be a problem
when its not close to freeze on its direction to become stable (which
its actually doing right now for some months now so its quite stable at

You could also try www.backports.org which backports some newer
packages into stable (i386 only, if you are using a mac you will need
to search on www.apt-get.org)
