installing selected packages from unstable onto debian stable

[Gilles Fourchet]

I have to be honest: it is not production as per a company definition. 
It is production as per my definition.  I have a network at home with a 
firewall (2.6.8.1 + iptables) and a server (nfs, samba, dns, dhcpd, 
apache, etc).  I am using Sarge for about 4/5 months now without any 
problems.  I am doing an update from time to time (apt-get update ; 
apt-get dist-upgrade) but I never had a lot of updates requested.

Let me know if you need further information.
