Apologies - I meant testing.

Hi Leo,
Unstable does throw a wobbly once in a while.... I'm running it on my
desktop.
Occasionally (maybe once a month or so) you get the odd broken
package, but it's not a regular thing, and usually you can work around
it.
For me the only thing I have to remember is to run apt-get update &&
apt-get safe-upgrade every so often to actually upgrade (because
update-notifier seems a little broken....). For a home server though,
it's probably safe.
Of course - this is just my personal opinion - what do I know?

I'm going to do a reinstall of my home server which currently runs
debian stable. I want to put a more up-to-date distro on it and am
thinking either debian unstable or ubuntu server. I'm edging towards
debian but, despite some googling, it's not clear to me how many
broken packages/problems I'm likely to encounter with it. Has anyone
much experience with it? Is it a hassle to maintain?
Thanks,
Leo
