I've been using woody here for about a month now. So far I've been lucky, spotted warnings here about chaos events etc, but remember, it is called unstable for a reason. > I have a 56K modem and have to pay line charges.

I don't have a lot of packages on my system, which helps. If you watch out for what's coming, you can sometimes put things on hold, for example here I currently have mozilla and libnspr4 on hold as I know I have the latest versions and that any updates at the moment will be the same software with a different package number. Once M19 is released and packaged I will unhold them. btw - on the kernel side, it helps to download the patch files instead, they're a lot smaller. -- Sean Furey, a happy and satisfied Debian user.
