Hi all After long doubts and four years using Linux, I'm finally decided to use Debian as my distro and not change anymore. Would you kindly clear some things to me?
I'm thinking of installing potato, since am really fed up of half-boiled distros (RH7, for instance), but I´d like to have some packages in more bleeding-edge versions. Any problem about that? Should I install woody instead if I intend to use non-stable packages? -After reading Debian docs, I don't get how updating works. Should I expect stable packages of gnome 1.2, XFree 4, etc.for potato or they're reserved for when woody becomes stable? In different words: through updating, does potato become woody, or potato doesn't change and it's woody what will change until stability? -How stable is unstable? I'm not running a server, should I go to woody directly? I know these are questions are very newby-like, but you don't know how different Debian sounds for a Red Hat/Mandrake guy. Thanks for all. ********************************************************* Dr. Rodolfo Canet-Castello Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Agrarias (IVIA) Dpto.
