Stable is called stable for a reason. Testing gets updates from Unstable after changes have been in Unstable for a set number of days. If you are using Testing and one of those changes breaks something, it is possible it will take a few days to get it fixed. Also, updates to Testing can be removed if found to break things. -- Charlie Kravetz Linux Registered User Number 425914 [http://linuxcounter.net/user/425914.html] Never let anyone steal your DREAM.
