Thanks, Chris, for your tip... While I am posting here, I am curious to know the routine of Gmail users receiving their mailing lists on their regular web browsers. (This is how I read my mail too). I usually hit "answer to all"... Maybe there's a better way ?
I use 'Reply to all' and simply cut/paste the list adress from the 'Cc:' to the 'To:' field to avoid sending off-list replies.

encouraged to stay with stable. However, there is some limited security
support for testing:
Good read ! I must say I was not aware ! (that shows me my ignorance ;o) )... Anyway, apart from my main desktop and my PPC laptop, which are both running Testing, all other PC's are on Stable... But I really enjoy learning a bit more everyday, thanks Chris !
The releases may not be as often as some other distros but when debian says 'stable' it means it.
For reference I use testing for my mythtv box but stable on my fileserver (or at least did before they became one).
The options of unstable (sid) -> testing (lenny) -> stable (etch) can be summed up as:
-> Bleeding Edge (latest and greatest, but has a highy risk of breaking)
-> Forefront (may break, but shouldn't)
-> Vanguarde (if it breaks, it is probably a case of PEBKAC)
Check
http://www.us.debian.org/releases for details. There there are links to the security team FAQ which describes their approach to security in the various releases.

In short: Everything which could have a noticable impact on the Debian
Project or its user base.
-Can we just send articles about our use of Debian, or views, opinion etc... ?
