	Sarge's installer is dramatically improved in ease of use, but it does
have the drawback of being unfriendly to low memory/hard drive machines.
	As for woody vs sarge, woody is 'stable', but sarge is frozen and
should be 'stable' soon and which you want depends on what you are
doing.  For servers I recommend 'stable' it gets security fixes the fastest.
