Also, no one in their right mind (IMHO) upgrades their packages automatically. I will keep you point it in mind, though, thanks. > This way nothing get's mixed up and you will always be knowing which > version of debian you are running (independent of release cycles) I already do - unstable (which is always "sid".) All of the important machines run "stable" and I trust them to upgrade well. -- George Borisov DXSolutions Ltd
