I agree wholeheartedly. While one shouldn't complain too much if one runs into problems, real life testing of unstable is important. I do appreciate the "heads up" warnings about problems in potato though. I plan on moving one of my main servers over to potato as soon as the apache-ssl/common conflict gets straightened out. I'll have it track a little "behind" real potato just to avoid unexpected gotchas, but you're right -- if someone isn't testing unstable how's it ever going to get stable? :-) -- . | Celebrate the Linux "WE'RE NEVER GOING OUT Randy | OF BUSINESS SALE" by downloading an entire ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | operating system, apps, games, utilities, http://www.golgotha.net | and source code at http://www.debian.org
