ok, i'll do that before update. I saw in debian-forum, that 'tetsing' is not bad as 'unstable' and 'lenny' is usable for regular users now. I can understand that something will break sometimes. since I am using linux at my home pc, i am okay with that. By the way, since I am new to debian, I always plays with it and sometimes it breaks even in etch (i am a newbie). so I'll be prepared for that. anyway thanks for your advice. I'll do the transition after evaluting my all options. -- Arijit Sarkar Kolkata, India Gnome on Debian GNU/Linux
