This is a very sane advice. I also started with a stable install, but after some time I decided I can handle testing. The problem is not that it's hard to run testing because it breaks, it is just a bit more likely to break in which case it is good to have some experience sorting out the debris. For unstable, this is probably even more true.On Sat, May 15, 2010 at 08:23:09AM -0500, Ron Johnson wrote:On 05/15/2010 08:16 AM, RyanJB wrote:Thanks for the comprehensive reply, it's like you just whipped up a new documentation for this problem ;) I think it's best for me to run lenny with backport. My need is actually only a stable home system. I do favor current apps though; I often use betas (but not alphas), but I can live with old apps.Then use Sid. Lots of non-geeks do.Why??? I think he made a correct judgement.He said "I can live with old apps". He can always run sid in chroot or virtual machine. But the fact that he is asking this question is the proof, he should get to lern Debian system now. Once he will get to used to Debian system, he can do sid as I do or Ron does. But I think it is premature. Give him few months, he will....
