My experience with Debian UnstableMy experience with Debian UnstablePosted Jul 17, 2012 20:24 UTC (Tue) by BrucePerens (guest, #2510)Parent article: Left by Rawhide I've run Debian unstable on systems for... oh gosh, could it be 21 years? I had one day down due to a software issue in that time. And I have recently discovered that one of my workstations would not boot unstable due to some issue with grub or the kernel, not investigated. That's a pretty good record.

I think it's 19 years.
My experience with Debian Unstable Posted Jul 17, 2012 23:08 UTC (Tue) by pr1268 (subscriber, #24648) [Link] I was going to say... I don't even think Linus' famous Usenet post is 21 years old (although it will be next month!).

I ran debian unstable in my desktop for something like ten years, and I had some breakage -- something like a workday of downtime every three months or so. Not that I am complaining too much -- even Ubuntu used to give me half a workday of downtime every dist-upgrade (but I must point that the last three or four ones were flawless) probably due to the half a dozen PPAs I still use.

I've been running Debian Testing for about 18 months and have had only one serious problem during that time. Testing has new updates every day, and config files do move around and change, but for the most part I have newish packages and few problems.
