I have sarge installed, but I get errors when trying to run apt-get

I have changed "testing" to "stable" and now it is downloading file
lists. But will this take me back to woody [or is woody now what sarge
was then]. Grateful for advice!
stable == sarge now, so you actually _need_ to change your sources.list if you want to keep using sarge and not etch (which testing is now). Are you saying that you missed the fact that Sarge was released last week? What errors where you getting?

Sorry, I can't recall the errors - I think it could not find the server locations. Changing testing to stable [and then to sarge, which is what I wanted] fixed this. Can someone explain the naming conventions? Is sarge a particular release [that will eventually be called "stable"] or is it a name for whatever is testing at the moment? And in what was was sarge released - I had sarge already - is it now stable? If I put stable in my sources.lsit do I get woody or sarge? - Joe
