I'm on testing/sid til now, and I use my laptop as production tool, it's quite stable, I've lost video hardware acceleration since 2.6.38 but the computer is still usable (I don't really play games) > Then there are smaller things.

The only thing that worth (or not) complaining are flash/gnash, skype, and all the other tools officialy binary available for linux, x86(64) only... -- tosoa.
