Not really. Read about Debian releases here: http://www.us.debian.org/releases/ > 2. When installing "Testing", do I always stay in the "Testing" phase > ,or after it finally become "stable" I become stable too ...? You always stay in "testing" if your /etc/apt/sources.list file refers to "testing" as its repository. You'll "become stable" if your sources.lst uses "etch" as the repository name. Here, for example is and excerpt from my sources.lst: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main Note that the entries use "stable" as the repository name. This means that I'll always be using the "stable" distribution, whether it is Woody, Sarge, Etch, or whatever.
