Sid is unstable, woody is testing. I.e., stuff goes into sid and if there are no problems for a while (~3 weeks or so I think) it moves into woody. I run woody and it's really quite stable already. However, security fixes may need longer to move into woody than into sid. You can get the sources from sid and compile && make package for woody youself, if need be. Sid can be a pain sometimes, so monitoring of mailing lists before apt-get upgrade is strongly recommended. > Actually, I am searching for a system that is ready for kernel 2.4.x and, > thanks to my graphics board, it also would be good to have XF 4.0.2 or > 4.0.3 in it. woody has both > if there's any > reader on that list who's located somewhere in Germany and who would be so > kind to provide me with a set of cd-r's of the Debian-current tree, please > contact me (also outside this list), would be *really* appreciated. :) List at http://www.debian.org/distrib/vendors#de Hinner does sid images, I don't know how often, though.
