Debian people refer to versions of Debian distribution in a few ways: by nicknames, by numberic versions, and by statuses. The following table summarizes the relations between those referrals.
Note that status is changing over time, e.g. "Lenny" will become stable (and get a number) some time in future.
| Name | Version | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Sid | n/a | unstable |
| Lenny | 5.0 | testing |
| Etch | 4.0 | stable |
| Sarge | 3.1 | old stable |
| Woody | 3.0 | n/a |
| Potato | 2.2 | n/a |
| Slink | 2.1 | n/a |
| Hamm | 2.0 | n/a |
