In the
previous article, our computer newbie family, Mike, Diane, Mary and Carla, had decided they wanted GNU/Linux installed on the new family/business computer. Debian, via Libranet 2.0, was installed on the system, with appropriate business/office software, as well as the Gnome desktop environment. The next steps involved getting the system configured for easy use and adding various minor tweaks. Mike, Diane and the kids were not involved during the configuration phase of the system.
there is nothing wrong with sid. it is as stable as a suse or redhat fianal release...realy it is. unstable is a relative term and in relation to debian, unstable is what a redhat or mandrake or suse system would be.
you get all the latest apps, and 95% of the bugs are worked out by the time it gets into sid....experimental is where it gets hairy.
