By the way, Knoppix uses Debian sid, and is overall considered to be a very good demonstration of Linux' capabilities, both in features and in stability. I don't think it would have gotten the recognition it has, if people would have found it buggy or unstable. Maarten

This is a nice coincidence, because I just installed Debian Sid ('unstable') on my home workstation. I am also a convinced Debian user, and all the servers and workstations I administrate are Debian Woody ('stable'). Now, recently, I have seen myself forced to install more and more backported pac
