Hello everybody. I have been using Debian for a while, I had an old
system which went through many dist upgrades and I always played with
testing and unstable stuff, even before I actually knew what I was
doing.
Now since I'm running a fresh and "clean" Lenny install I'm here
to ask what is the correct way to handle packages from the testing
branch, in case I want to use a newer version of some software (namely
xfce in this specific case).
Do I have to do a full dist-upgrade or can I just mix packages from
stable and testing branches?
Any input appreciated, thanks.
I wouldn't mix stable and testing, get XFCE from backports if it is
available or run testing.
YMMV
