Are the unstable versions any more easy to install that the stable? I've been so frustrated with Debian and getting it installed, using dselect and picking the right packages that I've about given up. I want to run it (I run Xandros as a desktop and SuSE & Red Hat as servers, but want to move on to raw Debian.
