/etc/debian_version
testing/unstable

SHIT! ;-) LOL. So this is why I have the problems I mentioned before. Nobody
got GD2 working on a testing/unstable version? And how do I rollback to GD1
on an testing/unstable version as I'm not going to perform a full rollback
on the production server with more than 10 websites using different setups
(MySQL, postgrep, posix etc etc). If I get GD1 working okay do I have to
change something to Typo3 to make use of GD1?

I'm pleased everyone is taking the time to answer all the questions people
are having about linux/typo3. So Quentin thanks to you too! now I know what
is causing my problems. I'm going to look into this to see if I'm able to
get GD2 on the testing/unstable version running. If I'm able to do this I
will let you all know. If you all say don't do it as it just won't then tell
me please as i'm going to put some effort and TIME in it........
