I ran a mix of Sid + Unstable for a while, it was OK if you didn't do
silly things like "apt-get upgrade". Aptosid smooths things out a bit, too.

Didn't know Ubuntu was using unstable. It would kind of surprise me.
I've done dist-upgrades and upgrades on my wife's netbook (running
Ubuntu 12.04) without any of the problems I used to get using unstable ...

But I prefer the Debian philosophy to Ubuntu's, and find Unity useless
(and incompatible with applications that we use everyday).
