My personal view is very close to yours Res. I've only seen grief from
the few attempts I've made ocver the years to live with the more than
insanely mossy/mouldy crap that is called "stable" in the Debian case.
"Unstable" is is in some ways more stable than at least some RPM-based
distros:-):-). And still not that close to bleeding edge either. Oh
well.

But one has to realise that this isn't always up to the one asking the
questions... It might be the result of pigheaded PHBs and
miss-directed policies. So ... a friendly clue as to how to get around
the current problem, as well as some advice ... Keeps the tone of the
forum nice, and who knows... The asker might even do an update or
three;-).
