Quite.
Potato's suitable for servers. Woody tends to be pretty damned stable
these days, and is what I'd use for a workstation. If you're not
satisfied with the recency of potato's packages, switch on up. Realize
that things break periodically, but IMO it's worth that small pain.

Your best source for debs is...debian. And your best source for current
debs is a current release. Hence testing or unstable.
