Bom Dia, Miki! Todu bem?
Quoting Ben-Nes Michael, from the post of Thu, 22 Jul:

a. I'm a bit conservative. for production servers I still stick to woody
and sources like dotdeb.org that proved itself worthy. you COULD run
workstations with unstable, but I would only do that if your users are
knowledgable.
b. in any case "testing" is usually a bit more broken than either stable
or unstable. it's not for production, especially not servers.

Definitely Debian stable (woody). it has the backports carefully patched
instead of frequnt upgrades following security hole discovery. I highly
recommend it if that's all you need, or look at dotdeb.org for the
latest PHP4 and PHP5, plus other sources at apt-get.org
Auf weidersehen,
Ira.
