To my understanding, this is the wrong way to think about stability. It's not a question of whether the OS is stable as in not-crashing. It's a question of whether the versions of software included in the release will be changing or not. That is, whether the collection of packages is stable or not. Running the unstable distribution, AFAIK, just suggests that the versions may change on you, not that it's likely to crash. ap ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] * andrew_perrin (at) unc.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
