First: I might actually install stable on the other partition on my hd,

but I'll have to think a bit more about that.
Next: There's plenty of reason to run unstable (at least everyone I know

that runs debian on their desktop thinks so). I normally don't have any

problems with my (stable) unstable box.
Against stable: Stable is nice, and I pray release rates are speeded up

after the fuzz about stable. But 3 years is simply too long on my

desktop. I tried backporting, never liked it.
Against testing: Testing is (in a bad way) in between stable and

testing. It seems there's no real consensus at to when packages arrive

in testing, so some part of the system is almost as old as stable and

others are as unstable as unstable.
