Debian Woody is older
Debian Etch is the stable branch of Debian
Debian Sid is the testing/unstable branch of Debian.
There's also Debian Lenny

Other codenames that have been already used are: buzz for
release 1.1, rex for release 1.2, bo for releases 1.3.x,
hamm for release 2.0, slink for release 2.1,
potato for release 2.2, woody for release 3.0,
sarge for release 3.1, and etch for release 4.0
I guess I was confusing release 4 with Testing. I am definitely
not a Debian expert. Is there some truth to the stories I've
read repeatedly in recent times, that Debian was not lagging as
far back as it once did, in your experience?
