Alternativly, someone might be able to mirror the i386 lump of the ftp server and bring it to ALUG again. As you say, debian unstable is fairly stable. It is currently frozen, which means that no new packages or upstream versions are being allowed in; it will remain this way for upto six weeks (until all the release critical bugs are fixed), at which point it will be released (complete with prebuilt isos).
Ah, I was under the impression that unstable isn't frozen. Potato is frozen, yes, but afaik there are actually three states at the moment: the current stable, which is still slink, the old unstable, potato, which is frozen while they poke it a bit, and will become stable in a month or so (whereupon I shall upgrade the same day :), and woody, the unstable release...
Indeed - sorry - been using the words 'potato' and 'unstable' interchangably for the last eight months... Embarasing at sunday lunch, I tell you...
