Hmm, I use unstable but the last time I did a full update would be a month
ago now. Except for security updates, there's no real need to update unless
you really need to get some new features. Hence I only update some packages
on a regular basis and most packages only occasionally.
Hence I get the stuff I want with downloading masses of package all the
time.
I'm waiting for the whole KDE/glibc/gcc3.2/etc to stabalise before I my next
major update...
