If you really can't live with Sid, there's always testing (now Etch). Cheers Neil. I am happy enough with Sid, I have had few problems with it and it seems stable enough for a desktop system - I am running Sarge for my Mail/Web servers though. I don't run Evolution much (only really installed it to play around and try the Exchange connector thingy); X is running smoothly, so I'm guessing they're not a problems that'll affect my system greatly. But, I have to ask... with issues like this, will apt sort itself out later on? For example, once the X issues have been resolved by the Debian X SF team, and appropriate changes to Sid's packages have been made, would a simple "apt-get update & apt-get upgrade" then work again?
