The imaginary lesser unsafe way which doesn't exist would be to use backports.debian.org. Reason both pinning and backports is unsafe is that neither comes with security support. The most sensible way (which you already ruled out) is to use testing. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
