Debian hide their testing releases well:

Wow - I thought Debian didn't release a testing/unstable iso. Instead, you install stable and "update" to testing/unstable by adding the repos.

That is one way, but if you need a kernel module which isn't in stable in order to boot at all...
Although I don't see myself going back to Debian, that's good to know. I'm sure I read on Debian's download page that they don't release isos except for stable.
Ahhh.... just had a google - it's just Sid (unstable) that doesn't get released:

Yea, unstable is sort of packages being built and modified on the fly, testing is nightly builds, and stable is a testing build released, then subsequntly, PTF releases.
You generally have to be careful when installing testing. I have had many failed installations because the iso is not completely consistent or correct. Keep this in mind if you are a beginner and using testing. It may not be your fault that the installation did not proceed as expected. Wait a few days or a week and download the iso again. Fingers crossed.
That said, after the second try, I am a very happy user of sqeeze (testing release name).
