I am in the process of converting from SuSE to debian, if I choose to
use testing/woody, will the upgrade automatically follow woody as it
moves into stable? That is, if I begin following woody with apt, will I
continue to follow woody as it stabilizes?
Sorry if this is an obvious one, I haven't actually installed debian
yet.
