RE: Is anyone using woody in a production environment?
I am using woody as a postgresql server in production. I wanted version 7
and testing is *mostly* safe if you don't go hog wild installing packages.
I haven't had too many problems.

I'm actually running 2 out of 6 boxes on testing (4 production, 2
playground). Other than the expected X configuration problems and a few
ill-timed keystrokes, I am doing fine. I have not gone to a 2.4 kernel in
production but I am comfortably running 2.2.20. For the production machine
I started with a clean install of potato and went straight to woody. Less
problems than a configured system upgrade.
| 3) We build the Debian packages from testing on stable.
IMO not a good idea... dependencies, dependencies, dependencies. You'll end
up basically upgrading to woody anyway, just do it to start with.
Hope this helps,
