Maybe ... if such thing exist. But do you know most of us install stable system and upgrade it to testing/unstable. > Should I go with pure debian testing or a distro on debian testing? I think you should at least try upgrading system after installing stable system on separate partition as dual boot. If you want to make you life easy, install non-desktop small system first. Then edit /etc/apt/souces.list to replace stable or squeeze with wheezy and run # apt-get update # apt-get dist-upgrade Then run tasksel or with aptitude, install desktop task and you are done.
