I'm tired of people bitching about Debian's release cycle, it works fine, and unstable packages are just 'current' packages that are packaged but need to be tested. Everything in stable works and is tested, so you can rest assure that you won't have many problems.
Generally: Use stable on servers and such, unstable on your desktop or systems where you need the newest apps all the time.
Once you use it, you won't go back, believe me. It's like Gentoo with precompiled binaries
