Depends how you define stable. The biggest problem I've run across was a OpenSSH (I guess Debian still calls it ssh) binary built against a different OpenSSL (or as Debian calls it, ssl) library. Not too big of a deal, just rebuild OpenSSH locally. But that's when I found out that to build OpenSSH on Debian, you need gimp libraries, which was kind of lame. I'm using it on my laptop, which I haven't been using much lately, due to the cracks in the screen :( I was updating daily (usually about 5mb or so a day, I have a lot of packages ;) for about 6 weeks, and the ssh problem was the only one that caused me some downtime. I imagine there were and are things that don't work quite as well as they could, but I haven't used them at the time they were b0rked. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> On Mon, May 14, 2001 at 11:46:46AM -0700, Rob Hudson wrote: > How stable is sid?
