Are you sure you want Enlightenment? It eats a lot of memory... > > What are the dangers in upgrading my system to run unstable?

Upgrade to testing in stead of unstable, you may end up with a lot of broken packages with unstable (not to say that this couldn't happen with testing). Then upgrade the packages you want but which is only in unstable, by hand. -- Preben Randhol ---------------------- http://www.pvv.org/~randhol/ -- +---+ "There was, I think, never any reason to believe in any innate | ! | superiority of the male, except his superior muscle." +---+ -- Bertrand Russell, Ideas That Have Harmed Mankind (1950)
