woody is newer, but it is "unstable" potato is the current stable(only a few weeks old)
i'd highly reccomend sticking to potato and only installing individual woody packages if they are not in potato unless you want to get into some testing, as woody is evolving all the time. right now woody/potato seems quite similar since woody only started a few months ago. i had 1 woody box at work and it ran great never had a problem(dont work there anymore) everythign else is potato or slink. nate "Christopher W.
