I'm planning a dist-uprgrade tonight on my potato box, from mirror.cse.unsw. So I was wondering what the Debianites think about the current non-stable branches? Is anything sufficiently broken in unstable right now to avoid it? It's only a desktop machine, and I'll be getting gnome from the ximian unstable site, but I *need* X4.0.1 to run my RIVA accelerated (mmm purty pictures). Points to mention: I have to drag this box upstairs to apt-get over the net, so i'd prefer something which *fairly* stable (56k Link). I know about getting perl-5.6 out of unstable before dist-upgrade, are there any other gotcha's? TIA P.S How able is Alien? All these magazines come with nice flashy RPM packages which sometimes would be good to update with, or is this going to horribly pollute my Deb system.... -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
