I still use Debian Sid.
There is a reason for that... and its staring you in the face.
It only took 2.7 years to get a bug fixed dealing with not having a battery in my T61 while being on and not being forced into 800MHz mode.
Now I get 1.6GHz, better but not fixed. Its a Kernel issue. But everything else seems to work... oh except the Debian policy regarding *BLOB FIRMWARE*.
So, right now I am stuck on 2.6.31-rc4.
2.6.32 is where all the stabilization is happening for the squeeze release and I cannot boot that Kernel as no X will be there, as the *BLOB* firmware for the video card is considered non-free. Except its available in full source code, but GCC can't compile it in that form and has to be compiled by the Intel compiler. (its loadable by any loader then).
Grrr.
