Actually, by now squeeze is stable and lenny is oldstable. Nevertheless, I always install from lenny unless there's a particular reason, so that's probably why I had only few problems with reboots - only when I installed a lot of stuff at once did I encounter them.

In the new sources.list file, squeeze is enabled out of the box. So this is probably the cause of the problem. Also, in squeeze, apt-get changed its behavior to install by default with recommends, unlike in lenny.

However, in the long run it would be good to find out what needs to be done to make Easy Debian work well with squeeze.
