Hi,

I am probably going to repartition my hard drive and after being a satisfied 
Debian 2.2r2 user I am going to do a clean install. I was wanting the 
following things in my new setup:

	GCC >= 3.0
	XFree86 >= 4.0
	Linux kernel >=2.4.0
	ReiserFS (instead of ext2 for my main partition ie I want format and install 
onto a ReiserFS so this requires a boot disk supporting ReiserFS)
	Recent KDE

I would like my system to be as stable as possible and have a clear upgrade 
path in the future.

	With this is mind could someone advise me on what would be the best version 
of Debian to use. It looks suspicially like testing might be the best to be 
using but how unstable is that?

	Note: I am a relatively experience linux user / programmer who wants an easy 
as possible install but doesn't mind getting his handing dirty.

Thanks for any help,
Jonathan Hunt
