@zykotick9 It seems like it's not the final version, though. The last Debian changelog entry is from 26 May 2012. -

George, I test-installed e17 last year under testing... To be honest, I'd suggest aptosid to peeps that need «cutting edge» apps... -

There's nothing more frustrating than doing an "apt-get install random-app" in testing, unstable or experimental only to realize it's broken -

So how usable is aptosid, really? I've been using wheezy for a good while, but it's feeling dated. -

@gabrielbauman rule of thumb: apt-get update is fine; apt-get dist-upgrade - be careful! -

@gabrielbauman for me, wheezy feels very new. coming from squeeze. i've never tried apt-to-sid, so wouldn't know ;) -

Thanks for the insights, folks. I think I'll just stick with Wheezy. The change rate has really gone down and it's been solid for me. -
