Hi,
THankz for the same. I was wondering, how does the "sarge" version difffer from the official version? The debian website says that it "is currently in a state called “testing” ". What that does mean? It something goes wrong, do i have to reformat my HDD? Abhishek |
Debian is divided into 3 branches, Stable (code name Woody), Testing (code name Sarge) and Unstable (code name Sid). These names all taken from Toy Story. Debian have very strict quality control checks and only stable packages (no bugs) are allowed into the stable branch. Woody is nearing its end and is scheduled to be replaced by Sarge at the end of this month and is currently frozen. i.e. the maintainers are not accepting any more new testing packages and are resolving all current bugs in existing packages. As such Sarge is very stable at present and would be recommended for server use. Debian stable is probably the most stable Linux distribution currently available.
