So ... what's the latest anticipated Woody release date?

Probably not of much real use, unless someone is stuck with an ancient
BIOS, but I've got a 256MB drive & a 512MB drive.  They both work.

This begs the question: How many gigs has your local Debian mirror grown
to?  My source archive is only a paltry 1704011KB (ooh, I just remembered
'make mirror-maker' ... need a bigger pipe for that), while my cvs repo
weighs in at 1449858KB.

600MB * 8 = 4800MB ... does that include sources?
