Some people prefer to do something about a problem. Certainly, there are so many problems in the world that you can't possibly take some sort of action on all of them. But most people don't go around bragging about the actions they don't take. --

The 'testing' distribution uses essentially the same kind of packages that other distributions put into their 'releases'. Do not confuse this with the 'unstable' distribution, which is the newest version of everything.
Essentially, Debian gives you the option of upgrading everything to the latest version any time you want. You can't do that at all on other distros. And if you just want stuff to work, you have the option to not do that. -- Obfuscated e-mail addresses won't stop sadistic 12-year-old ACs.

I put one of those alternative DNS servers at the top of resolv.conf on my home machine, then forgot about it. The result was that DNS lookups got significantly slower, and eventually that server went down and I was wondering why I was getting DNS timeouts all the time.

Hey cool, I'm glad to see my.sig is living on in another form. (Mine was: reverse the letters between the two "e"s, remove the letters in "sticky", and ROT13 the rest.)

In my experience with installing FreeBSD, it seemed deliberately unfriendly at times.
Consider the first screen where you have to choose devices in your system. It could have given me a list of network cards and asked me to choose one. Instead it gave me a list of all devices which included 10 different network cards all installed, a warning marked "9 conflicts", and I had to delete all but one. Of course once I figured out what it wanted me to do it was fine, but that's a fairly stupid way of asking for a network card.
After I got it installed I was rather disappointed because the ports collection didn't have as many available programs as Debian, and various keys on the keyboard (such as "Delete", "Home" and "End") did the wrong thing. I have no idea how Debian manages to make those kind of keys work right in all programs - it's not an editing-one-file type of job, I know from attempting it - but it does. That and the fact that it couldn't read my Linux ReiserFS partition led to me uninstalling FreeBSD.
I understand that it works great for some people, but it didn't seem to offer any advantages over Debian to make up for the disadvantages. -- Obfuscated e-mail addresses won't stop sadistic 12-year-old ACs.
The client was called TiK and was based on TclTk, not Gtk+. It was rather well recieved because it was open source (as TclTk necessarily is), had no ads, and could be extended with numerous plugins. However, AOL one day just deleted the web site for TiK. Some TiK users still held on but by then GAIM was offering support for the OSCAR protocol, which is what the official client uses, rather than the TOC protocol which TiK uses.
The TOC protocol still works without authentication now, by the way. However, you can't do things like file transfers with TOC. -- Obfuscated e-mail addresses won't stop sadistic 12-year-old ACs.

You could update your sources list once, by setting it to the unstable distribution.
Don't be scared away by the name 'unstable' - if you were updating to the latest RPM it would be the same as upgrading to the unstable deb.
If you run anything older than unstable, you're choosing to be out of date.
