@NullTheFool in my experience, debian testing gets you software that is reasonably up-to-date and breakages are relatively uncommon.

@NullTheFool I've been running a mix of unstable and testing for years across multiple machines. It tends to be the best combination between freshness and stability, but you do have to be mindful of the occasional breakage, generally in correspondence with major upgrades of large or baseline (i.e. with lots of dependants) software. I usually rely on aptitude in console to manage such updates, since the resolvers don't always do a good job.

@NullTheFool (aptitude is very useful to upgrade individual pieces of a system and provisionally skip over the ones that cause breakage until said breakage isn't fixed)
