I don't know about that, after all, the main raisin d'etre of Debian is the stable release. Things are normally a bit erratic after a stable release. It's a good idea to wait for things to cool down a bit. This is the time when you either feel out of your depth running testing or Sid or you cruise along riding the bumps and troughs knowing when to ease off on the throttle and when to pour on the juice. We will soon find out the ones who have grabbed the controls and just put it on full throttle and hope for the best. :) -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
