I think testing and unstable are inappropriate for an InstallFest ( there
will be some exceptions as we get people who are computer literate, but jus=
t
have problems getting GNU/Linux up and running ).
There are rumors that GNOME 2.4 will be backported to woody.
Generally, I think it would be fine to use backports.
If sarge is truly frozen before the InstallFest and getting ready for
release, then I would review my opinion about using testing.
