Debian Testing is working properly most of the time, though I can't guarantee that as I'm running Debian sid / experimental, which is also working most of the time (at least for me, though in sid / exp from time to time it is not working properly). I would say go with Wheezy (especially that you are not new to GNU/Linux) darkestkhan ------------------------------------------ Feel free to CC me. jid: darkestk...@gmail.com May The Source be with You. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
