Hi,
I am a desktop user that is currently using Etch.
Hi Wei,
Are you using GNOME, KDE or Xfce ?
You know that Etch is about to release. This means that new features and
software will not get into it any more.
So what is a better choice now, to stick to Etch or to switch to the
next testing? I am not sure which is more important for desktop users,
stability or new features.
The answer is: It depends. :) Do you want the latest stuff to try it
out and is able to keep up with the possible broken pieces? If you
simple don't want to spend time with that, the best choice (for you!)
is stick to Etch and possible adding some backports here and there in
the upcoming months (see backports.org).
I think there might be some people with similar problem/experience with
me. What is your plan/suggestion? Thank you.
My plan as developer is keep at least a desktop at work with sid,
other with testing and my laptop running Etch. I've also testing and
sid vservers on my laptop for build and test packages. :)
