woody is the the testing distribution and will eventually become the
stable distribution. 2.2r3 is a revision (mainly security fixes) for
the present stable distribution, potato. Details are in the `news'
section on www.debian.org.
To upgrade to 2.2r3 leave your sources.list pointing to potato and do
apt-get update
apt-get -u dist-upgrade
For woody change your sources.list to replace `potato' with `woody' and
issue the same apt-get commands.
If you simply want the benefits of a more secure, stable system 2.2r3 is
the best option.
