Potato is stable, Woody is still unstable (testing/unstable).
Get potato. All you need are the bootup disks. During install, tell it to add some
ftp/http sources to your apt sources list. It will look for newer files than your
media (if using cdrom) and download them.
After installation, look at your /etc/apt/sources.list file. If you see any potatoes,
change them to stable.
Then run:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
However if you want x4, you'll need to use woody. Instead of stable, use the word
testing.
