MIke,

I have been using Debian "testing" for more years than I care to mention on
multiple laptops and desktop computers with very few problems. Upgrades
rarely break, and when they do the output from apt-get is usually enough to
fix the problem - usually a dependency, and if I install a couple of the
dependant modules by hand everything works. Debian stable is also good, but
not as current as testing.
