I've been a happy Debian user for quite a few years now. Debian Unstable is awesome. Like Ubuntu, Debian has a stupid naming convention. I had no wish to keep track of the Toy Story of the month club, but I didn't have to, I used unstable in the repositories and I always had my system current. Anyway as I upgraded to 6GB of Ram I figured I needed to reinstall to 64 bit and didn't think there would be much difference other than Ubuntu having a better installer. I've been happily running Hard Herion for a few months now when all of a sudden Herion was released, and apt-get dist-upgrade now does nothing. This makes me really sad as I don't think developers stopped coding. Is there any way to use the equivalent of Unstable or Testing? It kind of sucks that what I figured was a good thing looks like it's going to force me to reinstall Debian on my machine.
