The 1.4 beta I've used has been very stable. I think it's in Sid, but
Woody is also in my sources.list. I've also installed from the tarball
and from the rpm with alien, all have worked fine.

I don't think you can get 1.3 directly from Debian but you can get a deb
here which makes it easy to install.
