When to upgrade to Debian 1.0

[josie@iww.org]

 Hi,
 	I've been using Debian Linux 0.93R6 with great pleasure over the 
 past couple of months, and I have little but praise for it.  However, 
 last time I dftp'ed I noticed that there is quite an elaborate version of 
 Debian 1.0 on-line.  My understanding is that the main difference between 
 the two is that 1.0 is elf based, as opposed to a.out based, and not much 
 else.  
 	I would like to keep my system as updated as possible, especially 
 since I would like to start contributing to Debian as soon as I've got 
 enough of a grasp of it, but I'm not sure if 1.0 is considered ready for 
 installation.  Can anyone give me some advice on this?
 	I'm maintaining a server with Debian, so I don't want anything to 
 happen that's likely to result in days of debugging (I'll get lots of 
 unhappy souls that way, not to mention my own).
 	Thanks for all the work people have put in to make Debian possible,
 	josie
