Hi Folks.

I've got a box running Debian stable (sarge) but in order to get some features I've installed some packages from testing. This causes a few problems when I try and keep my box updated. Which makes me worry. Should I just give stable the boot and switch to running entirely from testing? Anyone here doing that? Any problems?

You can backport the packages from testing - www.backports.org has a lot of these preprepared for you. Otherwise, I moved most of the machines that ever ran Sarge to Dapper, and can thoroughly recommend it. Otherwise otherwise, Etch will be out any day now. Really. :) Craig
