How Unstable is Sid at the moment


I'm wondering whether to upgrade from Etch to Sid to get the new x.org, but wondering if it is stable enough to be used.

Info would be great, Buck

I use it just like a lot of people do... It's stable, just be prepared to encounter a lot of things that aren't exactly normal. If you know what to do when you come acrost them then sid is ok.... Otherwise I would stay at etch.

Any idea when etch is going to switch to xorg?

Thanks!
