There is a fourth criterion
; experimental : So unstable that unstable doesn't even want them. You have to get these packages from other apt repositories. They are labelled experiemental so you don't install them unless you __really really__ want to, and tell apt that with ''apt-get -t experimental package''.
-The current (at time of writing) stable distribution of Debian is 3.0r0
, codenamed woody. It was released on July 19th, 2002. Check http://www.debian.org/releases/ to ensure it is still current, and if not, come back and edit the wiki so it is. The current testing distribution is sarge. Eventually, sarge will become stable (a FeatureFreeze will occur), and then sarge will become stable, woody will become an unsupported older distribution, and a new name will be picked for the new testing tree.

Previous versions of stable have been named "potato" (debian version 2.2, 2000), "slink" (v 2.1, 1999) "hamm" (v2.0, 1998), "bo" (v1.3, 1997), "rex" (v1.2, 1996), and "buzz" (v1.1, 1996).
The unstable distribution is called sid, and it doesn't get renamed.
