It should be noted that you should be pretty adept at Linux before
using unstable. It is a VERY BAD IDEA for Linux newbies to try
Debian/unstable. There are occasions when updating a package or 
whatnot will seriously break things. If you don't know how to 
fix your system it can cause major, major headaches.

Take care,
