Be lenient in what you accept. Some poor sod got a blast on a blind list I was on for a time because he didn't top-post and he, the blind bloke, didn't want to "read" all the other material before he got to the point. OTOH someone else on that list told the blind bloke how to get past it. Me, I'

Hello! Please don't top-post, it kills the reading flow. True, many MUAs set the cursor to the top of the message being edited, but that's just so the user can weed out unneeded lines starting from top. On Wed, Jun 30, 2004 at 06:12:05PM +0100, Ricky Clarkson wrote: > On Wed, 30 Jun 2004 18:41:19

To change from testing to unstable, is is as simple as s/testing/unstable in /etc/apt/sources.list, `apt-get update` and `apt-get upgrade` (or do I need to use dist-upgrade for this)? If I have problems with a package from unstable and want to revert to a lower-numbered version, how would I do so?
