How so? I've been running unstable since last Dec and I have yet to have any serious problems. glibc2.1 broke java, and I had to rebuild liburi-perl to get netscape to install, but other than that, my system has not been severely hosed. On the contrary, I've been able to play with the latest and greatest software and had to compile from source much less stuff because Debian is extremely up to date. You see posts from people on -user at least once a week wanting to install stuff from potato, everything from xmms to kernel-package to the new X. -- Stephen Pitts [EMAIL PROTECTED] webmaster - http://www.mschess.org
