Debian Testing is a great way to try out Debian and provide feedback to the project. But it's not a rolling release Linux distro. Although some successfully use it like one. In today's video, I'll show you how to try out Debian Testing for yourself, but then I'll tell you why you might want to think twice before making it your everyday distro.

Does anyone read descriptions anymore? If you read the description, comment with "That's a bossy video". Shoot, is that engagement farming? Oh well. What? Oh, right, I'm supposed to be describing this video. It's about Clonezilla! I love using Clonezilla for backing up my disk drives to images.

In this unscripted episode of Veronica Explains, I hang out with my good friends Taylor and Amy from @TaylorAmyShow and we rant/rave about documentation, and compare the (often sorry) state of today's Linux/FOSS docs against the (often fantastic) documentation we had when vintage computers were just called computers.
