If you wait to long the update will involve a lot of packages and you might get hit by several issues at once. OTOH some issues are only temporary and if you don't update to often you won't even notice they existed. It also depends on the preferences of the person(s) using that system. For example I wouldn't dream installing anything else but stable on my mothers laptop (even if I had easy access to maintain it, which I don't), because she doesn't like things to change too often, but I would get bored if I would run anything else but sid on my own laptop ;) Regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
