Kubuntu Ubuntu it's all Debian to me. Debian Invictus as it were. If you want
up-to-date do the beta2 7.0 install and set up your /etc/apt/apt.conf like so:
APT::Default-Release "unstable";
Build-Essential "build-essential";
Ignore-Hold "false";
Clean-Installed "true";
Immediate-Configure "true"; // DO NOT turn this off, see the man page
Force-LoopBreak "false"; // DO NOT turn this on, see the man page
Cache-Start "20971520";
Cache-Grow "1048576";
Cache-Limit "0";
Default-Release "";
Install-Recommends "true";
Install-Suggests "false";
and your /etc/apt/preferences to:
Package: debian-reference-en
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 500
Package: debian-reference-common
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 500
Package: (if you wanted to pin a particular package for special attention)
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 500
Package: (the same package to walk on the wild side)
Pin: release a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 900
This is where up-to-date is at. One last thing if you're feeling really adventurous
albeit suicidal change all the 'unstable' places to 'experimental' and if your
system still works you'll be beyond up-to-date.
