Hi,
Squeeze is definitely not Stable, it's Testing ;-) . I am running
Squeeze since Lenny is Stable (was running Lenny/testing before), and
it's going pretty smooth. From what I see on the lists and forum it's in
better shape right now than Sid. But there's still plenty of changes
ahead, still no security updates, so there's a good probability that
things will break to some extend in the near future.
Keep a partition with Stable somewhere, just in case.
Install apt-listbugs and apt-listchanges, have a look at the bug reports
for the packages that you consider crucial, and you shouldn't go through
too many hoops.
Tom
