Re: Debian (Stable Version)

Hi,

I've always been a Debian stable user, using Gnome as my desktop manager,
currently using Etch and have always wondered about the following:

Sometimes there are software that I want to use but they are not yet in the
Debian stable repositories.


Didn't you find the software on backports.org?
If it is there, the most painless solution should be to add
backports.org to your sources.list.
