This is what I do. Only emacs-snapshot (aka emacs 22) is running from unstable, everything else is from testing. the apt-get (and aptitude, dselect, etc) are able to handle this automatically. So, when doing an update, it updates everything from testing except emacs-snapshot, which it updates from unstable. Just mentioning it as its a handy feature when you want to run with the latest 'unstable' package, but don't want to run a system that is based on the unstable branch for everything. You do need to make some minor changes in the apt config, but these are very basic and I can supply them if you like. Tim -- tcross (at) rapttech dot com dot au
