Having spent just a day in testing I am not happy with the quantity of
bugs.
[...]
But at the same time I want the latest and greatest.
These 2 comments are a contradiction.
Make a decision between those two, and you will have made your decision
regarding whether to switch away from Ubuntu.
The local Linux friends who thought I should move on from Ubuntu
suggested testing as the closest in the Debian world to the Ubuntu way
of doing things. After today I am thinking they were wrong.
They were right only if YOU are willing to learn to deal with breakage
caused by "the latest and greatest" packages. If you don't want to do
that kind of work, then they were wrong.
I need advice.
Use Debian stable ("Lenny") and make yourself familiar with backports.org.
HTH,
Dave W.
