I'm doing some thinking and planning for my upcoming Debian install, and came across this from the Debian website:
"The installer will set up /etc/apt/sources.list for the installed system using the codename (etch) rather than the suite (testing) of the release being installed." Doesn't this take the fun out of Debian? If I understand things correctly, this will get the user into a system that will someday be "frozen"; Debian stable. Why would a desktop user ever want to run stable? So here's my plan. When I download Etch I'm going to copy my present sources.list into the download. It is set up for "testing". It started out as Sarge and is now Etch. Isn't this the smart thing for a desktop (non server) user to do? This gets all the KDE, Open Office, Firebird upgrades forever. I wonder why Debian is channeling people into stable (a dead end). Am I missing something?
