If I start with stable is it relatively straightforward to go to testing and unstable? I have the Debian DVD from last years Linux thingy in London so presumably this has them all on it? I don't have broadband so large downloads are out of the question.
Hrm, that'll probably only be one of stable/testing/unstable, not all of them. Probably your best bet is to yell loudly and get someone to write you a stable and testing CD set, unstable although fantastically up to date (usually) can catch out the unwary. I'd suggest that if its a non-critical system to use testing, and keep it up to date. If its server style, always use stable, its, erm, robust as hell :)
Just my 2ps worth,
