yes, and i've had very few problems with it for a long
time,
but i still also keep a bootable stable partition because

you need something to work for sure it is better than trying

fix testing quickly
I'm currently running on testing. I have to in order to
get my HDMI Audio to work. I have stable on my media center
PC. I have had more problems with stable than with testing.
Elisa on stable crashes when there is a large number of
songs or multiple cd's in an album. Elisa on Testing works
just fine with no issues. I like testing and surprisingly it
does not get that many updates. I had openSUSE
Tumbleweed rolling installed and there were hundreds of
updates every day and they were not all using delta-RPM.
Yes, that's where I was also, using openSUSE Tumbleweed. If Testing
is more like a rolling distro, then it seems very similar to
Tumbleweed, albeit with significantly fewer updates. I am enjoying
Debian quite a bit (I liked openSUSE, but wanted to try something
new and was concerned about the involvement of Novell and the
direction they wanted to push the user community into in order to
support their enterprise project).
