Be vary careful. Search the recent archives for content (not thread
title) mentioning "lenny" or "testing". Read the debian-reference to
see the difference between sid (unstable), testing (now lenny), and
stable (now etch). Since you're new to debian, be especially careful.
In testing, things break and then it takes a few days (10 or so?) for
any fix added to sid to percolate down to lenny. If that breakage
happened to be in a program you relied upon, you would have that
breakage for at least that long.
Since etch is recently stable, what is it you're needing that etch
doesn't have?
