Eventually, I probably will. I'm new to the Debian distro, though and a little gunshy over the word "unstable". As a newcomer, though, I really like what I see. The maintainers have done an incredibly good job. FWIW: Debian has the reputation of being difficult to install and easy to maintain. I found the new Installer at least as easy to use as the installer in SuSE. One test I like to run is to try to run a program without looking at the documentation. It's a good way to see how intuitive the program is (it's only a test ... I do go back and read the documentation and rerun things to get them right). I found the Installer very intuitive. I only found a couple of places that I thought it was counter-intuitive, and they were fixed in the latest release. Now, it's easy to install as well as easy to maintain. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAWjOgjeziQOokQnARAih5AKCfgxQTrbGNBbpko/ijZY2jW4RWIACggURB PS+KmpYxKEQTJWg5T7Zlnr0= =1tWg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
