+1 , you need to be very active if you are running unstable , be on a watch for what major thing is coming next and be ready for that , else you will end up with a broken machine. Having said that unstable is very good for all the latest stuff , you could also add experimental for the extra punch ;) Also another point is your drivers , if you have "proper" open source drivers for your hardware then only go for unstable , else you will be crying for graphics or wireless to work which would have been working yesterday but an upgrade might have broken it. Disclaimer: I am happily on debian wheezy the stable version and I resent "systemd and its mess" , waiting for wayland to get stabilised and hope for "uselessd" to come forward and kick systemd out of GNU/Linux world . Guess my life will be running on wheezy backports for quite some time to come :( Regards, Pavithran -- pavithran sakamuri http://look-pavi.blogspot.com -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
