My experience with Debian Unstable

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.

My experience with Debian Testing

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.
