woody is the the testing distribution and will eventually become the stable distribution. 2.2r3 is a revision (mainly security fixes) for the present stable distribution, potato. Details are in the `news' section on www.debian.org. To upgrade to 2.2r3 leave your sources.list pointing to potato and do apt-get update apt-get -u dist-upgrade For woody change your sources.list to replace `potato' with `woody' and issue the same apt-get commands. If you simply want the benefits of a more secure, stable system 2.2r3 is the best option. Brian.
