Naturally one shouldn't completely rely on the distro maintainers for all
security and updates. I do a barebones net install with woody3.0. apt-get
upgrade/update makes maintaining the base system easy. For any critical
services or software I always compile from source, applying any patches as
necessary.
I follow the debian lists religiously, but I've still learned that with
security you can trust no one fully but yourself. And sometimes even
that's questionable ;)

>Careful ... as I understand it, Woody does _NOT_ get security

it migrates
into testing/Woody. If you are depending on security.debian.org for Woody
security updates, be wary. I believe I have seen Wichert Akkerman state on
this mailing list that he is currently using the Woody section of
security.debian.org to do some testing for the future.
happy hacking,
