if your sources.list links to STABLE, and STABLE MOVES TO A NEW
RELEASE, then you'll be getting a whole lot of new upgrade
situations. config files, filesystem hierearchy locations, yada
yada. most will go smoothly, but the ones that don't will be the
ones yuo're most interested in (it *just knows* :).

if your sources.list links to WOODY, then you'll stay with
woody. much less stress (and less recently-developed packages as
well).

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #52 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com>
:
Would you like to GET APACHE TO HIDE CERTAIN FILES? It's
as easy as adding this to your /etc/apache/httpd.conf:
  PerlModule Apache::Constants
  <FilesMatch "\.hide$">
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlInitHandler Apache::Constants::NOT_FOUND
  </FilesMatch>
Your scripts, behind the scenes, still have free access to
everything; but web browsers will be told they don't exist!
