I installed unstable about a month ago and have had nothing but good times. I've been following debian-devel and debian-user looking for problems people have had with upgrading unstable and haven't seen that many (a few regarding kde / libfam issues). But, I'm curious to know how safe/dangerous it is to just say 'apt-get upgrade' presently.Do an 'apt-get -u upgrade' and it will show you what's going to be installed, removed, upgraded, and so on. If anything listed concerns you, like gcc, glibc, or something, ask...
Thing is, someone could have updated their glibc package yesterday with no problem. After that, the developer updated it, broke something, and then you turn around and grab that broken package and then run into major problems ! This happened with 'libpam' many months ago. Basically, if you updated it and logged out, you couldn't log back in...
Heh, that's why it's called "unstable", 'cause it can be !
