i was reading this article and it is very helpful and something new
that i learned but i am a bit confuse. how come i be safe in this
technique because what this article is saying means if i wanted to
install a specific package this would be helpful and if the package is
not in the "stable" then apt will check in testing and finally in sid.
but what if i run "apt-get upgrade" then my question is, would it be
safe and will not upgrade my OS to sid or testing.
