Now that Hoary ist stable, I'm wondering what might be the most convenient way to keep my desktop system fairly current without running into update probs every two days or so. Back on Debian, Sid ended up as my prefered branch and while it needed tinkering now and then, it kinda hit the desired balance I was looking for (exept for some longtime shortcomings like X.org or the Debian-KDE maintainers' habit of mixing versions).
I obviously got two choices, the upcoming testing/stable branch named "Breezy Badger" or the ever unstable "Grumpy Groundhog" (no comment on these names ). Neither do I know when actual development on Breezy will start, nor how stable Grumpy might be, compared to Debian's Sid.

Suggestions are appreciated, thx a lot.

Depending on how 'up to date' you mean, the backports repository may be of use. I used this to keep my warty install reasonably up to date with updates to Gaim, Firefox etc. I'm sure there will be a Hoary backports shortly (if not already!)

You mean this repository? Looks nice, especially the extras branch.

Thx a lot!
