If your server still runs sarge that is good and bad. It is good because etch will seem like space age technology to you, though it's already one year since release. It is bad because you waited so long with an upgrade. The security support for sarge has ended. I would suggest about the same time as lenny is released you start planning you next upgrade. This way you will have an entire year to complete the move (security support for oldstable ends about one year after the release of stable).
