Is anyone running Debian Jessie yet? Previously I was running Wheezy with a few packages from Sid and experimental, but in the past it's taken a month or two for the new testing release to reach some form of stability. Thanks James

I'm also wondering when it will be relatively safe to upgrade. I've been holding back (except for some specific packages selected from Unstable).

Yes, it works for me. My experience over the last 10+ years is that Debian/Unstable is generally fairly stable. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

I am, but doing nothing fancy. As you say, waiting a month of two after a release is sensible. apt-listbugs is also your friend. Most notable issue I've seen so far on #d-next is grub falling down: Bug http://bugs.debian.org/709097 in grub-pc (open): «grub-pc: Boot failure after updating to 2.00-14 - cannot find normal.mod, grub-rescue reports /boot empty»; severity: critical; opened: 2013-05-20; last modified: 2013-05-20. Bug http://bugs.debian.org/707653 in grub2-common (open): «grub2-common: After Grub 2.00-14 upgrade, system failed to boot (rescue, old grub 1.99 still in mbr)»; severity: critical; opened: 2013-05-09; last modified: 2013-05-16.

I just upgraded and all of the basics are working after a reboot. We'll see how it goes now. It was a huge update, measured by number of packages and download size. Grub is now at 2.00-15, which closed several bugs.
