 Don't track sid/unstable unless you're developing or wanting to help find
 bugs.
 
 For someone adminning their own desktop I would suggest tracking testing.
 
 For everything else track stable unless you need to get something out of
 testing. If it's only one or two things track stable and snag those things
 out of testing. If it's a bunch of stuff track testing.
 
 I'm currently tracking stable on all of my boxen. At some point I'll start
 tracking testing on one or two boxen. If I start getting involved with
 debian development I will track sid on at least one box.
 
 Use /etc/apt/preferences to make intermixing easy.
