Stupid Noob Question: Surfing the 'Testing' edge
Hi Debian gurus,
I jumped aboard the Debian bandwagon mid-Sarge, and so that's the
version of Debian that our machines are currently running. As Etch
nears it's completion I've been preparing for the upgrade from Sarge to
Etch. Since I'm still pretty new to Debian, I'm a little iffy when it
comes to understanding parts of the the Sarge=stable, Etch=testing,
Sid=unstable implementation behind Debian development. Specifically,
I've seen several warnings now about making sure to change "testing" to
"etch" in /etc/apt/sources.lst once Etch goes stable. (For testing
purposes I've just always left it "etch".) But what if what I want is
to keep our machines at "testing"? It seems to have the latest and
grooviest versions of stuff. So how badly would I be shooting myself in
the foot if I changed "etch" to "testing" in /etc/apt/sources.lst and
just left it that way?
Michael
