Now go edit the first post of this thread and replace 'almost' with 'complete and utterly'

Good to know it worked out.

So what was the outcome? Was stable good enough or did you decide to use the Testing/Sid repos?
I've been mostly happy running CrunchBang Statler with the backports option, but recently I tried to install a newer version of Rainlendar, but I couldn't install it because it depends on libc6 v2.15 or greater. The incident has got me thinking again about using testing/sid repos. However, I checked the Debian packages site today and even Sid doesn't have libc6 v2.15.

Outcome: 100% success. I am a happy user of #!, system is stable.

At this time I changed from statler stable to wheezy, and stayed on this to this day. Being an extremely satisfied user of PekWM (again, thanks to legendary 30 WM thread). Have had problems with gnome-keyring due to own ignorance, but solved it (almost) complete.

Reason to go to wheezy/testing was various software versions (as I recall, bluefish editor was really too old in stable, compared to testing). As for your Rainlendar problem, I agree, but often debian catches up 'quickly'. I also see that Ubuntu has libc6 v.2.15. Perhaps you can force update of libc6 with version from ubuntu?

Now I am waiting for non-test Waldorf to install on Dell; in the meantime, I'm playing with Waldorf-testing in virtualbox and on USB stick (e.g. just installed on Asus Eee 1005HA with broken HDD).

Welcome to #!

Just for the sake of saying so, you don't have to choose now. Maybe to break in your boots, install stable. You can always change it to Sid, or testing, or whatever later by a few keystrokes to [//etc/apt.sources.list] Lots of documentation by people smarter than I on the subject.

Why go to Sid, when Wheezy is in between? Waldorf is Wheezy...

Read a post by one of the forum moderators that Sid gets security updates quicker than Testing, although you're probably risking stability because Sid is more bleeding edge than Testing.

Welcome to the community iMBeCil!! Lots of #!'ers here with the know-how to help with just about everything... Think I even noticed a thread on "kitchen water pipe replacement" (just joking), but theres a lot of knowledge here on the banger forums.

I might take the plunge into Sid here soon.. Maybe!?!

^ And on the other side of this coin, I use Crunchbang with Sid exclusively on all my machines and my client machines and never run into issues that cannot be resolved in a matter of minutes. I have been doing this for a year now.

I would go insane waiting for things in Stable
