I was using RedHat/Fedora for along time, then Ubuntu, now Debian.
I'm not new in Linux, just Debian. And I'm still having trouble
understanding some of the terminology.
I want to run the stable distribution--Squeeze--except I need newer
versions of some key programs I use in my work, like LyX and R. And
since the kernel included with Squeeze crashes when I unplug the USB
headset, I need to run a newer kernel that has a patch for that
problem. (I'm afraid of testing because it does not appear it ever
pauses for a "snapshot." If Debian testing had "freeze points" like
"Fedora 14" or "Ubuntu 11.04" or such, I would probably run testing.
But testing never pauses for a mostly working snapshot. Right?)
Debian Testing is working properly most of the time, though I can't
guarantee that as I'm running Debian sid / experimental, which is also
working most of the time (at least for me, though in sid / exp from
time to time it is not working properly). I would say go with Wheezy
(especially that you are not new to GNU/Linux)
