Hi Chris,

I guess it depends upon what you are going to do.  We are running 100% 
debian now and on a daily basis, but just office stuff.  The 2.6 kernel 
seems to run Ok but there have been some issues.

We had mystery deletions running samba 3 and 2.6 but reverting back to 
samba 2 solved the problem.   I still have minor issues with software 
raid 1 in one m/c under 2.6 but otherwise OK.  Another m/c running 2.4 
is running bootable software raid 1.

OTOH I do have Chinese input in an English environment and a nicely 
locked down set of desktops.

Testing apprently has a special meaning with debian.  I was looking at 
software last night.  The developer's site has 0.9.1.  Debian stable is 
   0.1.1.  Debian testing is 0.5.something :-)

Apt-get install is nice and they do have a lot of stuff.
