Supporting old releases of software becomes more painful the older the
software is. There will continue to be security support for the woody, the
old stable release, once sarge is released as the new stable, but that
security support will be for a limited time giving woody users the chance to
upgrade to sarge in a reasonable timeframe.

"uname -r" tells you the kernel release's version number.
