stability level of testing

[daggs <daggs@gmx.com>]

Greetings,

I'm thinking of migrating my main server to Debian, I need stability and recent version of small number of pkgs.
in addition I need to recompile with a out of tree patch.
I had Debian stable before but replaced it because upgrade broke the system and the versions used for the mentioned above set of pkgs were too old for what I need.
I know that Testing has more recent pkgs version but I don't know how stable is it.

any info will be appreciate.

Thanks,

Dagg.
