woody net inst

Hi,

I want to set up a stable debian to use it as a server and, as it works so good with sarge, I'd like to make a net inst (I don't want to use 6 or 7 cds). The problem is that it looks like there are no debian official net inst cd's for woody, only these unofficial:

* LordSutch.com ISOLINUX mini-ISO image
* David Kimdon's boot-floppies netinst images
* Eduard Bloch's netinst images and XFS netinst image

Have you tried them? Which one do you recommend me? The easier the better

Thanks a lot!!

Hi again,

Surfing the Internet I found this article,

http://www.debian-administration.org/?article=95

from which I understand that I should better to install sarge for my server and won't need to upgrade in the next months. Do you agree with this point of view? Is sarge stable enough at the moment?

I for one, agree with it. Sarge is inches away from becoming the stable branch of Debian. It's stable enough already. You also get a more recent kernel version with sarge (2.6.8 if I'm right) than woody.

Yeap, I agree that it is quite stable, I'm using it in my desktop and laptop and it works nicely, but still didn't try it under heavy server conditions.
