Hi Denis,

64Studio is currently based on Debian Etch, which is current stable.  It 
is therefore perfectly safe to add this repository to your sources.list

I am testing some more applications, some not even found in debian's 
normal repositories.  To compile some of these I needed some packages 
from debian experimental (gasp).

Thankfully everything is (still) working, and when these are available, 
i'll go back to a cleaner install.

Cheers,
Quentin
