[ILUG] Going to try debian

[ILUG] Going to try debian

OK now I'm confused.  I got the net install ISO.  I have my mirrors.

So "testing" is the beta / release candidate  of "sarge" which is the 
next stable release ?

Have I got that right?  If this is the case I would guess that updating 
from testing to the stable release of sarge, when ever that happens, 
should be fairly painless and can be done though the package manager 
apt-get ???? Right?
