I enjoy the stability of woody also on the desktop but have to admit that the
KDE I use is a backported one and it runs quit stable, too. I fear that
sarge is too unstable for my daily work, and I've heard really bad things
about debian-installer.

What about security? I'm online all the time my computer is on. Are the
sarge versions of iptables and ssh stable enough to give me good security?
If you have a non-Debian distribution, you may get quick security updates,
with sarge, you don't get them.

I agree with you in part. The problem is that you sometimes need newer
software also for a server.
