Am I wrong ?????
Debian "stable" is like Postfix stable. No changes except for bugfixes. This makes it an ideal server platform. For the desktop, you want unstable. Unstable means that the base packages will change. This does not say anything about the stability of the packages themselves. This is equivalent to a Postfix snapshot release, where features will change.
