So after I've isntalled knoppix to HD, and looked around a bit, I see that the standard (stable) Debian version is Woody (3.something - now a year old) and the upcoming version is Sarge (AKA 'unstable') and there's a further version in the pipeline called Sid.

My LILO boot screen screams 'Sid' at me so I suppose a lot of the packages are from the development stream of Debian, rather than the stable stream.

If I want to move to a particular release of Debian (for stability reasons), which apt-get commands do I issue? And do I have to make changes in the apt/sources.list file to ensure I don't upgrade to something more bleeding edge? I don't like the idea of just running apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade; who knows what I'll be left with.
