From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Debian Documentation is very extensive and it extensively explains that you should use Sid and not Testing.
why? isn't it more stable than unstable?
@tubbadu the problem are security updates, that get to testing later
Integrating
debsecanwithaptand pulling security updates fromexperimentalandunstableis trivial as demonstrated here.@TunaCowboy nice, thanks!
isn't this also true for stable?
@tubbadu no, stable gets them sooner than testing https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-manual/ch10.en.html#security-support-testing
oh this is strange! thank you very much!
