Potato gets security updates whenever a hole is discovered. Just make sure
/etc/apt/sources.list contains the line for the security fixes:
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free
Woody is, for the most part, very stable. Most breakages are only in the
packaging system, such as packages with broken dependencies. Actual bad
packages (things that would cause stability problems) are very rare.
