[PLUG] debian stable & 2.4?


Hey,

I just got a new (well, old) pentium pro 200 box that I'm going to be
using as my in-house webserver and such.  I've installed debian potato on
it, but then when I went to install a new 2.4 kernel on it, I realized I
needed some packages upgraded.  Adrian Bunk used to have a debian site
setup where he offered updated potato packages that allowed you to upgrade
to 2.4, but, he has since quit debian, and taken the packages down too.

So.. I'm left with options.. Upgrade to woody, Wait until the packages
become available again, or see if I can manually find all those -bunk debs
somewhere.

What do you guys (and girls) think?  Should I just take the plunge with
woody?  I'm running sid on my desktop machine, but I get squeamish
thoughts at running a "testing" version on a box I kinda want to not break
and stuff..

Thanks,
Kevin
