Do you think it is stable enough to be used? well it is not that the software in testing and unstable (etch and sarge) is unstable, it is just that they are running targets, e.g. you do not have a consistent state where you can say that the software that you have in the archive at a particular day behaves the same way as the same package on another day. most of the software in the archive are marked as stable relaeses by the upstream authors...but with sarge you have a frozen state with libaries and programs (except for security updates)...
so generally speaking it (can be) more work to administer a etch system then a sarge one...and sometimes the users will complain if the version of the software changes to often (of course it also can be the other way when it gets a bit to outdatet...) and the point with conflicts, etc was already pointed out yours albert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
