Going to install testing: should I use sarge or woody installer?



Hi ,

I'm going to install a new machine on Debian, and I will surely follow testing, as I've been used to for years.

Nevertheless, installing a new machine with woody today, just to upgrade it to testing (and I do want a 2.6 linux kernel!) looks cumbersome. The question is : should I nevertheless proceed with a woody installation CD , manually change my sources.list and apt-get dist-upgrade at will ?
Or should I use the sarge-rc1 CD install ?

Related question : if I use sarge-rc1 to install, will apt get automatically configured to follow testing ? Or, when sarge will become stable, would I have to take care of changing my apt config if there happened a requirement to stick to stable afterwards?

I realize my questions may look awkward but I simply can't wait for sarge to be "stable" unless it happens whithin the next 2 weeks.

Thanks in advance!
Thierry
