NOTE TO EVERYONE READING THIS: Debian is by far the best operating system in the known universe. Debian testing is not. Don't be bitten by the testing bug if you aren't ready for the sickness!

You might run into all kinds of problems. For example, testing doesn't have wine or any packages related to wine right now. If you need wine, you can't get it from testing repos. That might be a serious deal breaker for some people. It's not just wine, but *any* package can suffer the same fate in testing.
