There are numerous warning you will run across that if you use sid, you should be either subscribing to the appropriate lists so that you know what is broken today, or else you are simply hacker enough to deal with it yourself. sid has no training wheels and no guarantees. Caveat Emptor. It works well most of the time, but it can be near dysfunctional for weeks. There is nothing at all wrong with using sid; there is also little or no sympathy if you do so without recognizing what you are getting into. > So now It will try to make a minimal debian install and update to sid :-( Nothing wrong with that. But things can still break badly, so be prepared to dive in and sort them manually.
