-The '''''stable''''' distribution of [[Debian]] is the latest version which was ''released'' for wide use. This means it was tested for a long time before enough problems were corrected to obtain what the Debian release process deems a stable operating system.
+{{Redirect category shell|1=
-Debian releases ''stable'' when the release team is confident that fewer peculiar problems will occur with a new release than with the former one.
+{{R to section}}
-When a release occurs, the version that was previously ''stable'' becomes the ''oldstable'' distribution, while the version that is ''testing'' takes the place of ''stable'', but stays ''testing'' too. Therefore, immediately after a release, the contents of ''stable'' and ''testing'' are identical.

-==Versions and codenames==
-Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 ''[[sarge (Debian)|sarge]]'' is currently the stable release of Debian.
-The obsolete Debian stable releases are:
-* 3.0 -- ''[[Woody (Debian)|woody]]'' (currently considered ''[[oldstable (Debian)|oldstable]]'')
-* 2.2 -- ''[[Potato (Debian)|potato]]''
-* 2.1 -- ''[[Slink (Debian)|slink]]''
-* 2.0 -- ''[[Hamm (Debian)|hamm]]''
-* 1.3 -- ''[[Bo (Debian)|bo]]''
-* 1.2 -- ''[[Rex (Debian)|rex]]''
-* 1.1 -- ''[[Buzz (Debian)|buzz]]''
-The next release is codenamed ''[[Etch (Debian)|etch]]'', and will be version 4.0.
-==Point releases==
-The so-called ''point releases'' are relatively regular updates to the stable distribution that include all [[computer security|security]] fixes that Debian made available separately on the [[Internet]] since the last point release. Sometimes they also include fixes for grave bugs, and removals of content that has been found to be legally problematic to distribute. These releases increment the ''rN'' part of ''stable'''s version number (for example 3.0r5 becomes 3.0r6).
