  you can set up several partitions with different
levels of fun if you want.

  i run testing and some packages from unstable or
experimental at times as two different booting systems.
to make sure that i always have a bootable system i 
only update the partitions in steps several months 
apart which means i have at least one of them that 
boots and is pretty well tested for the programs i
use the most often.

  if you wanted to you could have one partition for
booting the stable distribution and only update that
when you have a good time for that.

  the thing with these setups is that in Debian you
don't have to get automatic updates if you don't want
them so you know when the system is being upgraded.
