[PLUG] Debian woody

[Doug Porter]

I have been using the "testing" version of debian now for a while. This
is the new dist that is in-between stable and unstable. I consider it to
be the best of both worlds. It contains most of the latest software, and
it is very stable. The problem with unstable is that it can get a little
bleeding edge /* like redhat */ and things will break from time to time.
A few weeks ago they added a new version of libc to unstable and it
broke exim, sendmail, perl, apache, and a slew of other packages. The
problem was fixed just a few days later, but I need my main computers to
always work. More information on testing can be found at:
