What do you think? What is the main purpose for that little box? If it provides critical services I wouldn't doubt it and stick with stable (now Squeeze). But I also find "testing" (now Wheezy) to be very stable for most common purposes :-) Anyway, as it can be read from Swift's web page, it seems to be feeded from both, stable and testing packages: *** http://www.swiftlinux.org/about Additional Benefits * STABLE EVEN BY LINUX STANDARDS: Swift Linux has roots in Debian's Stable and Testing branches.

Hum... if you are planning to run OpenOffice (how about LibreOffice?) in that box I guess you should be fine with Debian testing branch.
