Please do not cc me, I read the list. Depends on how you configure it. If you set it to just download the packages, it will work just fine. I would not use it to automatically install. Testing and Unstable do tend to break from time to time. I run a bare unstable system (no KDE/Gnome, just enlightenment), so I might be alright. I still wouldn't use/suggest it. The larger, more complex programs are the ones that tend to break. -- -johann koenig Now Playing: Blackalicious - A To G : Nia Today is Pungenday, the 4th day of Bureaucracy in the YOLD 3169 My public pgp key: http://mental-graffiti.com/pgp/johannkoenig.pgp
