FWIW I've been running "testing" on both my laptop and my desktop
for most of this year, and never had any stability problems.
It's a pretty nice way to stay on the not-quite-cutting edge.

"unstable" is a whole other ball game. The name is accurate.
I ran unstable for a couple months, and went back to "testing" 
after the second time an update ate some important config stuff. 
one time I couldn't even boot and had to use a rescue floppy! 
Too bleeding-edge for me.
