I'm not quite sure what you would qualify as "rock-stable," but I use both woody AND sid package sources for everything on my system, updating once or twice a week. Sure, once in awhile something minor breaks, but it's nothing I can't handle and it's sure easier than compiling everything. (But if you want some *real* fun, though, check out www.linuxfromscratch.org) Overall, I've had very little problem and would consider my 'testing/unstable' installation to be stable enough for (my) everyday use. YMMV and all that jazz. > Or is it so messy that the sane thing to do - for someone > who wants a rock-stable OS but at the same time wants to > play with bleeding edge applications - is forget the > package approach and compile? > > Whit
