potato is the next version of Debian (so it's Debian 2.2, where slink is Debian 2.1). It's currently going through the final bug checks, and hopeful will be officially released soon. But it's effectively completely stable already. The bugs that have been holding it up certainly don't apply universally to everyone. One the troublesome parts was the installation bootdisks, I believe, but you can get around that problem by first installing slink from CD, and then upgrading to potato over the net. Like Brendan said, apt makes upgrading relatively simple. Drew -- PGP public key intermittently available at http://strider.ucdavis.edu/~drew/drewskey.txt
