In fact, as a Debian Developer, I still only run stable: v3.1, a.k.a. Sarge. If you run "unstable" or "testing", you are relegating yourself to having to run "apt-get update/upgrade" nightly to stay abreast with the changes. You can do it, but that's the trade-off. Personally, I just use the backports.org version or build it myself. > Running apt-get similarly, I see the following: Yeah, that's what happens. Lots of upgrades that you may not want.
