I wonder if there is an easy way to undo an apt-get upgrade that will break my system. If there is then sid seems like an ideal solution for my desktop PC. I don't mind if I waste a little time or a little disk space. ________________ PS: I'm considering to migrate from ubuntu to debian and I am experimenting with it for some weeks now. After overcoming the basic problems (some obscure HW that wasn't supported out of the box) the only thing buzzing me is the stability -vs- new-features choice. In my servers I always go for stable but my desktop I want it more up-to-date without risking more than it is necessary.
