Debian gives you a choice though. If you want stability, install the stable release. If you want newer packages, install the testing release. Just be sure to get security updates from unstable (sid) if you do that.

"stable" in this context means that stuff doesn't change often. It doesn't mean "stable" as in reliable / never crashes, although Debian is good at that too.
