Hi! I'm running dapper. I've tried Edgy but i think dapper has something working better. I know that a stable release doesn't want fresh software..but i'd like to have some "minor" things up to date. Firefox 2.0 (I've used the script) OpenOffice AmaroK Kopete K3B

Can i use Debian repos and update them without any problem!? There's any particular repository that i can choose!?

I guess that in that case i have to update only "minor" software, avoiding updating system files that are debian exclusive...

Debian Etch (latest debian) is pretty much Dapper, so I don't think they got FF 2 or latest OO.org yet.

Thanks :)

I was wondering why i've asked for debian.. maybe i can use Edgy's repos no? :)

The one "Dangerous" thing that i'd like to try is Gnome 2.16. The others are utils that should create disasters, like i said: Firefox OpenOffice AmaroK ... and so on.

I've used Ubuntu_deamon repos list and i've update amarok and kopete. I've used the scrip for firefox and now i'd like to try OO with extensions. In windows i don't use OO very much. For little works that i have to do for university i use DIA and OO.. but i use them under Slackware or Ubuntu. ^_^
