From: RyanJB on 15 May 2010 00:50 Hi, With the latest apps keep pouring in, is there any way to keep debian in the "cutting edge"? I mean, how to keep debian as updated as, say, ubuntu or even sidux?? You know, latest iceweasel, openoffice, gnome, etc. Maybe using unstable or experimental repo? I'm sure there's many ways to do this, but I just don't know.. I'm new to debian :( Thanks a lot, RJB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Most of the time I run unstable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

So considering that, the extra debian iso have practically no use since later I'll be upgrading packets from sid anyway?? Any clarifications?

Any clarifications? I'm not sure what you mean. What is an "extra" iso? You mean the full set of CD or DVD images? I find a net install works best nowadays. Then you just download and install packages as you want to. The archive is simply huge now so it's a lot to download and burn unless you have machines that are not connected to the net that you want to install or update. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
