On a desktop/laptop I want the latest as I use the latest hardware. With Chromium there is no "stable" or "beta" it's a development branch. So being the development branch, Debian should be in sync with upstream, IMHO. Google-Chrome is the only version that has stable/beta/developer versions. > Now, I currently run a mixed system on both my desktop and laptop. It > includes packages from Lenny, testing, and Sid.

I use stable on my company's servers because there is no need for the latest/greatest, stability is more desired as is uptime. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Sid != experimental. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you started the thread about Chromium in Sid, not in experimental, and there hasn't been mention of experimental until now. So, care to clarify your reply? -- . O . O . O . . O O . . . O . . . O . O O O . O . O O . . O O O O . O . . O O O O . O O O

So being the development branch, If it truly has no stable (or even beta) branch it should not be anywhere in Debian except Experimental. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Sid is only for packages that may be appropriate for a Debian release at some point in the future. A development version with no upstream support for the entire life cycle of a stable release should be nowhere near Sid. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss(a)iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/ |
