I did an install of stable then had network problems when I tried to 
upgrade to testing so (reluctantly) went back to Ubuntu on out of date 
backups. Concentrates the mind on keeping good backups. Once I've got 
them sorted I intend to revisit Debian. I think I was just unlucky that 
my networking broke on stable->testing and I hadn't the time to 
investigate.

Anyway, talking of running, I'm out for a run round London in a few 
hours time ( http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/DougieNisbet ) but might 
just be back in time for a pint on tuesday night!

Cheers,
