Hi,
welcome to Debian. A great choice ;-) The 128KBits line is a burden, but that should only be a problem if you are tracking unstable/sid. From yesterday to today I got 140 MB download (that is one day), but this won't happen if you go for testing/sarge. Between two releases of a package is a minimum gap of 10 days (afaik). What kind of system are you setting up? A webserver you want to put on the net and never want to spare a second thought on it? Woody is probably good for you here. If you want more current software and are willing to take a little risk go for testing/sarge. Go to /etc/apt/sources.list and replace all "stable" with "sarge". Enter "apt-get update" to update your package database and "apt-get dist-upgrade" for upgrading the whole installation. This will also add new packages which you haven't had before, but are now available in the "stock" sarge distro. You likely will have to download more than 100 MB. The good thing is that you can interrupt the download process at any time and resume just there when doing an dist-upgrade again. Only problem with sarge is, that for some package with loads of dependencies it takes a looooong time to trach it. KDE 3.1 has taken ages.
