Using aptitude to update OS6
Is it safe to use the Debian internal update mechanism, i.e. aptitude to update the system or should I wait for the offcial OS6 releases? Some packets are updated much faster by Debian than by Netgear...

If you break things you may be denied support. Though I can understand if you forward ports to your NAS why you might want to install fixes for security issues ASAP.
We do have beta releases sometimes and from time to time will add some security fixes to our repo before providing firmware updates.
