I would strongly recommend stable
Most of what you need is on stable. If you need anything extra you could probably get it from backports.
Sit down and have a look at what you need
I wrote a howto and posted it to the list on building such a box

Hi,
Although I am an old Linux user, I have never used debian, and I am a bit confused about the various versions.
I would like to install testing (sarge) on a small business server (gateway, firewall, mail, web, ftp etc).
I know that I should install stable, but somehow I don't want to. So I have some questions.
Do things break often with testing? Will I have problems with security updates? Is testing on a business server an awfully idea, or just not recommended.
I am asking those with debian experience, since I cannot judge only by what I am reading on the official site.
Thanks.
