Re: Moving to Debian: updated software



Im still learning how to use mailing lists I read alot but I dont reply alot.

Testing would be your best bet. If you want current you need debian unstable.. I think you can get the binary's from the experiential repo though

"stable with current releases" is a contradiction.  If you want current releases, run Testing or Unstable.  (Ignore the scary words from the website.  Testing and Unstable are Stable Enough.)

If you *really want* Stable, though, deinstall iceweseal, icedove, openoffice, etc and get their binaries directly from upstream. There's no shame in that.  (For OOo, I'd recommend www.go-oo.org; it's Debian's upstream.)
