Debian unstable is quite bloody :) Testing is a nice compromise between stable and unstable. I've had a few problems, but they tend to get fixed. For a server stable is usually fine with me, and it's rare enough that I have a version qualm that I'm happy to compile the specific stuff that I need when something's missing. My workstation runs testing and I'm pretty happy with that. -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://www.purple.com/jeff/> +1 215/837-2287 GPG fingerprint: 1A1A BA95 D082 A558 A276 63C6 16BF 8C4C 0D1D AE4B A cool book of games, highly worth checking out: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1931686963/purple-20 Attachment:
