Just use testing/wheezy, there's no need to face with the unstable release<br>
bugs or with the "vintage" stability when you have the mid choice. IMHO<br>

<br></div>
testing[wheezy] is quite similar to unstable[sid] generally ... things get a bit more lively around the release time for a new stable when testing is frozen for six months before the new release, then becomes the new release, then changes rapidly as all the backlog moves in. experimental also exists and has had things like ardour3 on it sometimes, packages or versions that are not in sid but are tests or alternatives being tried out before being moved into sid.<br>
<br>
Sid is more useful than testing if what you want from your system is a system that matches the system that the packagers are using to prepare new packages, in particular if you want to be able to use the packages that the multimedia maintainers are making. That list has been growing rapidly for the last year or so.<br>
