  I haven't seen any flames yet, Kent.  Maybe it's a good idea.  But I can 
borrow the 3.0r2 disks which, I think, are Woody.  I'm sure they'll be fine 
for now.  Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
  Thanks,

Sarge has a new installer which tends to do a better job of 
autodetecting stuff. Plus, you'll get newer versions of a lot of 
packages, which might help with say, video drivers.

My personal preference is to run Stable (Woody) on servers, and Unstable 
(Sid) on workstations; I start the workstation installs with the Testing 
(Sarge) installer, and then upgrade to Sid.

But [starting from / staying at ] Woody works too, if that's what you 
prefer.
