The OP might also be interested in version stability, at least over some period of time, while sid has a constant stream of updates. The only thing in Debian that would be comparable are the snapshots proposed as alternative to CUT. Of course, one could just not upgrade for a while, but this means more security bugs and the upgrade may become more and more difficult over time[1], without having the benefit of the testing and documentation of a stable release upgrade. [1] probably nothing an experienced sid user can't handle, but I still wouldn't recommend it to someone new to Debian Kind regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
