BUT - I'm the one doing it! If I can present him with a stable box, even if not a Stable one, he will be happy.
So - how stable is Wheezy with TDE 3.5.14 nightly builds? I get the impression not quite.
But using Squeeze means opening the box and putting an extra network card in in order to be able to install it. (Or anything else with a kernel < 2.6.34.)
I just want to be quite sure in my mind that Wheezy won't yet do, before I start opening boxen.
As usual, it depends :-) I have been testing Wheezy & nightlies for quite a while in a Vbox instance, mostly streaming media (flash content), entertainment no issiues that affect my usage.
I also put both on a new Thinkpad this summer, been updating for several months now with no issues.
I use the cli for all my file management and system config, no auto mount stuff, TDE as a WM, mostly for kdepim. I don't see some issues others may have since I don't use any of the KDE utilites etc.
I would strongly suggest using Wheezy, release critical bugs are the only issues left. I would suggest 3.5.14 (nightlies) instead of 3.5.13.1 + Squeeze depends.
Thanks, Greg.
