security updates are only available for the RELEASED version of debian, currently that is 'stable' or 'potato' no specialized updates are available for woody or sid. you have to get the updates the same way you get everything else. be aware that it may take a long time to get security updates on woody as any new packages must go through a lot of testing before its allowed to get to woody. i think the process is 2 weeks? or maybe its 6..if no critical bugs are found during that time then the package is available to woody users. nate
