Debian releases are code-named after characters in Toy Story, during
their development.  After they're released, they have "normal" version
numbers.

Potato was the just-released Debian, version 2.2, so that's what you
have.  That's the current Debian "stable" release.

Woody is the currently under-development, or "unstable", release.

HTH.
