I get stable, testing, and unstable sources now. You need a large cache to do that. I will go to stable also, but in addition to the advice above, you should put put -t (stable or sarge) in your command line whenever you upgrade. You may want to go to testing again when stable gets old, and downloading all those sources helps you keep up, which is always an issue. "-t" is for target: # apt-get -t stable dist-upgrade daveA -- The only technical exercises for all guitarists worth a lifetime of practice: "Dynamic Guitar Technique". Nothing else is close.
