Greetings,
This is my first post, after having installed LMDE three days ago.
I am curious about the updates I get on LMDE vs. the updates I might get with the regular linux mint.
question 1: Should I expect to get more frequent and/or larger updates with LMDE?
question 2: I know LMDE is based on the Debian Squeeze (test), but how much chance is there that an update will make my installation unusable?
Thanks
Steve.

Re: LMDE updates
Debian and Debian Squeeze (stable) are well know for being 'rock solid' stable --- always!!
If you are using LMDE with the Debian 6.0 Squeeze repros and not 'testing' ... you will never break your system with updates.
In Ubuntu the recommend way is to do a 'fresh install' for a new release
When using Debian a 'fresh install' is not recommended ... with Debian the recommended way is to update.
I don't know that you would get any more updates with Debian than with Ubuntu . . . the amount of updates is probably less.
Fewer updates and more stable updates . . . works for me.
