But the docs say that > lenny is just a symlink to "testing". Until release, they will be the same. As part of release, "Squeeze" will be created as a copy of "Sid", the "stable" symlink will be change to point to "Lenny" and the "testing" symlink will be changed to point to "Squeeze". >Im not trying to be ultra-bleeding-edge, but im willing to trade some > stability for newer packages. I thought thats what i was doing with > "lenny". Should i switch to "testing" in sources.list, or am i confused? You probably should switch Squeeze, about a month or two after the release of Lenny. Unstable and testing can go through quite a bit of churn just after release, so It might have too many bugs during that time for you. Or, you can just stick with testing the whole way -- it's protections are not relaxed during the post-release period, although they are stepped up during the pre-release freeze (now). -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss03@volumehost.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.org/ \_/
