one minor note on debian versioning.. there are now 3 (well.. 4?) versions
in the stack.. where there used to be only 2 (3 if you count frozen)
potato: stable, all packages are in matinence mode only
woody: testing, stable _packages_ are moved to testing from unstable.
this is a new idea, instead of making releases go from unstable to stable,
move package individualy as they are deemed stable.
sid: unstable, it's unstable, anything can happen :)
Thank You,
