Potato is stable, so to my knowledge, woody is not. Although it must be 
close.

Yup.

potato == stable; woody == testing/unstable; sid == unstable

 Hi Guys,
 
 Has anyone had experience between both Progeny (rc2 stable) and the latest
 Debian (woody I believe is stable) Release?
 Which would be worth getting for a workstation/Gaming use (q3, UT
 etc)/Internet use, nothing as a gateway?
 Any thoughts or ideas would be great.

I tried progeny rc1 on my laptop.
It's a much easier (newbie friendly - and I don't mean that
derogatorily I like simple installs) installer than
standard debian.  The problem for me was it didn't
automatically setup my pcmcia ethernet card.  Then when
I went back after to set it up manually I found the 
module wasn't present at all (yet it is in debain potato).
So I didn't bother perservering and just installed
potato again.  (it's the de600/de620 module for a Dlink
DFE650-TXD card by the way).

Dave.
