I normally run Testing, with a few packages pulled in from Unstable from time to time when I want something that seems stalled. Occasionally, there are installation problems from mismatches between packages (eg. switches in ownership of a file), but the vast majority of problems that I've had on my system (and those are few and far between) have been from my own configuration adjustments not working out - problems in packages are extremely rare in what I have installed, and I have much of everything. When the big batch of code moved from unstable to testing with the release of Woody, I had no problems with any upgrades. I have a few problems now from having pulled in Gnome 2 in unstable and experimental, but otherwise, everything from testing has been fine, at least on i386. -- Mark L.
