Right!

In that case, it sounds as though /etc/apt/sources.list is arranged
differently then.
Any clues in regard to that?

Not really, by default it is pinned so you need to explicitly tell it
to grab packages from experimental

# apt-get -t experimental my-buggy-package

It's pretty handy, some of the stuff there is buggy/untested, some of
it is just waiting for transition. Very good if you need newer kernel
or mesa drivers.

Great!
Thanks for that.
Quite different to what I thought it was, so I think I'll keep my Unstable machines for work, and ccreate a Linux-from-scratch project for a learning experience.

Thanks to all.
Cheers!

Weaver.
