Re: how stable is testing?
Hi!
Testing sometimes had problems in the last some years, not so much,
but more than zero is a problem :) Anyway, it is called testing :)
I have some machines running stable debian & some testing packages,
and i have no problems at all. So you can try it.
Search google with "apt pinning" ant you will see how.
