Damn "reply" instead of "reply-all".
Yes, you would have to watch security updates yourself, but soon (I
hope!) Sarge will be stable, and then it will be getting nice security
updates. But you know, I still watch for security updates for my Stable
machines.
So, if not a pure Sarge, what about a Woody/Sarge mix? Install Woody,
then add the testing lines in source.list and apt-get the packages
needed for RT 3. Do a dist-upgrade when Sarge moves to Stable.
