Hi Osamu, Thanks for your reply. I will definitely try installing testing over stable version. I make my system dual boot so I have a backup. Here is the way I install the debian, please correct me if I am wrong. I install the core system, then I install gdm3 and gnome-terminal to get the GUI. After getting the GUI I install the packages as I need it. So I plan to do the same with testing. First I will install core system + gdm3 of stable debian, after getting the gui, I will change the repositories in /etc/apt/sourcelist and make dist upgrade. I hope this will work. Please comment if any thing is wrong.
