Consider your theory tested and proven! Though I'd consider factoring your backported kernel into the hypothesis.... :-) > I thought it would just be to allow stupid users like me to use newer > packages :-) > But the longer I use Debian the longer I get the idea that there aren't > any stupid users supposed to use Debian at all ;-) No, no - not a requirement, but it helps (with all things). Stupid is ignorance - a curable condition that doesn't require a doctor. Dedicated, feed me I'm lazy, do my homework for me, stupidity is a different thing.... Debian is about choices - lot's of them, and even with the best decision matrixes it would still require a certain non-dedication to stupidity to pick the appropriate Debian to use. Then there's configuring, feeding and maintaining the chosen Debain... I'd suggest that a willingness to read, think, and carefully experiment, inquire, rinse and repeat, is more useful than a lack of stupid. Lack of stupid is just a side-effect. ;-p Debian is the universal operating system (though work is under way to support other universes) - it won't cure stupid (that requires constant application of a knowledge stick), but it will raise your IQ (Inquiring Questions), make you look less fat, fix your car, and make shopping trolley run straight. It is the religion that doesn't kill. :-) > Don't get me wrong: I like to learn new things! Spend some time in the mailing list archives, exploring the wiki and the rest of Debian.org - and I guarantee you'll learn a lot. The usual Debian guarantee applies - if it breaks you get to keep both pieces. > > On the other hand I think it's more like a workaround and not a proper > solution because I don't receive any updates on the packages from testing > which I would when it were in backports? While you're edumacating yourself - look up pinning (by package) and you'll be pleasantly surprised. ;-) > > > Thanks again > Ramon > > My pleasure.
