I enjoy being on the bleeding edge, because it gives you the opportunity to dig deep into why some things get broken. If you just want a stable distro and don't care to think about it, use Debian stable or some last release Red Hat. Personally, I have been running Ubuntu Feisty (AMD64) since 2006. I even use 64-bit ndiswrapper drivers, which is quite a pain actually. When running a development release like this, the trick is to only update around intermediate Herd releases. If you update between the releases, you are likely to run into APT dependency/cycle issues and probably will hose your system if you don't know what you are doing. I really don't know what I am doing either, but I like to pretend that I do... -- Kristian Hermansen -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
