Sure, if you're willing to accept that 'apt-get install' and 'apt-get source' will get you different versions of things. (And it sounds like that's your intent.) "The system" doesn't use 'apt-get source' for anything, though frontends like aptitude use an analog to 'apt-get install'. (As an alternative, you can put both testing and unstable lines in your sources.list file and set up /etc/apt/preferences to prefer the testing version of things. But I don't remember the magic for this; look at the list archives.) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
