    In such a case, you should use stable distribution. Unstable is not for
    everyone. It is useless to complain about instability of unstable.
    Unstable is meant just to be that.

    I have seen many people on this list encouraging people to use unstable.
    This would be an example why people should not advice Debian newbies to
    use unstable or even testing for that matter.
