I run Woody on my desktop machine and have almost no trouble with it -
there's been the occasional broken package which I've had to roll back
after doing an apt-get dist-upgrade, but nothing that took more than a
few minutes to figure out and fix (I'm not a Debian guru). Even this
doesn't happen often - on average perhaps once every couple of months,
purely from personal experience.
I might hesitate to use it on a server without good reason, but on a
Desktop the far more up-to-date packages make it well worth it.
