Hi,

debian unstable vs. debian stable is like FreeBSD current vs. release.

one is the up-to-date system the other the mature safe way. in debian stable you won't have much new hardware, you will have old software (no GCC 3.x afaik) but it is stable. [period]

so unstable just means it's an evolving system, not a fixed running service. any user should go unstable, this does not mean to install all latest crap, but have the chioce to do so.

cheers
