This is last debian stable release. It uses kernel 2.2.19.
Woody
The next stable release will be released under this name. Debian community catagorize packages into stable, testing and unstable. woody is now in testing.
HURD
This is totally different. The kernel in this distro is not linux it is HURD kernel here. About 60% of the debian GNU/Linux packages have been ported to HURD.
Slink
I don't know about this.
Sid
This is what is there in Unstable category. All new packages of new releases fall in this category.
Which one is better for the developers and household use and to run afew server (not mission critical).
I use unstable (i.e. unstable) but if u want to run some servers also then I will advise you to use woody (i.e. testing)
for more info go to http://packages.debian.org/

Hi,
You said the you use the unstable version. How stable is that version? I would like to know if you have a woody version. Or any Debian version. I will get it written and give it back to you in a day or so. Thanks for all the help.
Bye.

I have installed from internet directly so I donot have the CD for woody.
Also the unstable is quite stable. I have not faced any crash since I installed it. Just that debian people call it unstable because they have not touched the package. When they start tweeking the unstable package the transfer it to testing category.
