I have just installed Debian 2.1 on my two machines at home after using
Suse
for a while and have now discovered the X servers are a little old and
don't
support my gfx card. I was wondering does anyone have some suitable
updates
on CD? I was wondering if it would be a good idea to go up to Potato? I
know
that Potato is considered unstable but no way can it crash as often my 98 box has taken to recently:)
Indeed - I wish debain released stables more often than they did. To say that they're perfectionists is quite the understatement of the century.
I am running potato, and have been for about 6 months. There was *one* occasion when it all went 'a bit wrong' (5 months ago), and it's been solid as a rock since then. Crashed a couple of times, but I traced that to a wonkey graphics card (doh!).
Definately worth the upgrade, but watch your phonebill if you're actually going keep tracking unstable with apt.
