running testing is pretty much like running a rolling release. except of course, when it is frozen at times. because i've also got a different stable partition which is only updated after point releases i don't mind risking the once in a while snafu that i have to work through. my morning routine is to watch what comes through in the package updates and set some aside if i think they might be too intrusive and i'm in the middle of something else. this is more than most people probably want to do but i don't mind it - it keeps me in tune with what is changing. :) songbird
