[Tfug] Re: debian quandary: install 3rd-party deb, upgrade to etch or sid, or compile upstream?

[ewf]

FWIW,
         My apt-get sources is set to:
           deb http://mirror.espri.arizona.edu/debian unstable contrib
non-free main

and I have currently installed:
         libc6.1          2.3.5-3

         I had all manner of weird stuff happening to my system, and during
my searches I noted that the kernel I was working with was too old. I have
now upgraded my system with a custom kernel:

Linux sage 2.4.27.111505 #1 Tue Nov 15 23:15:01 MST 2005 alpha GNU/Linux
