Transgaming generally releases largely static binaries, so you shouldn't run into too many dependency problems. I use backports.org for software that generally can only be found in unstable/testing. Ubuntu is pretty cool, from what I understand, but I've never really bothered. ZDNet is running a story [1]_ about a recent post from Andreas Barth. [2]_ Etch is scheduled for release in December. Rather than the 3 year release cycle, we're down to 18 months. ;-) Good news for Debianites everywhere. 18 months may be a little slow for the FOSS world, but it's better than 3 years. Personally, I can "suffer" for a year and a half before upgrading. :-) .. [1] http://tinyurl.com/o8uxc ..
