Hi,
did I miss the news, or did Debian Sarge go stable?
AFAIK, it was supposed to go stable (from testing) quite soon,
but I haven't seen any news about this - now I'm checking out
some Debian documentation, and here [1] I see Sarge as stable,
the testing distribution is called Etch (never heard that name
before), and unstable still is Sid.
On the other hand, the main page of www.debian.org still mentions
3.0 / woody as stable, as does http://www.debian.org/releases/
Oh well, I guess they're deep into preparing that update...
still it's somewhat confusing.

Ups, forgot the link:

Section 2.1.3

there were speculations of about april (2005).
That (and the age of the Woody packages) is also the reason
why the Server Tutorial of next week's LinuxDays is based on
Sarge, not Woody.
They apparently decided a short while ago to upgrade KDE from
3.2 to 3.3, that upgrade broke my installation on the laptop
the other day :-/ - so many broken dependencies that I gave up
(not really from lack of trying to fix things) and completely
reinstalled (you'll be thankful to have a separate /home
partition in such cases) - not good!
It's been a while that I had an upgrade on Debian go wrong.
Oh well, life goes on ;-)
Greetings, Eric
