i have a friend here and too lazy to create his own account so i'm asking the question for him: ;D
which release of debian should he use the stable one or sarge, the yet to be named stable version that is available in the iso format?

If it's a server run woody. For a workstation sarge is fine (or even sid if you know your way around the debian package management tools). Mind you that from a security point of view sarge is the least favourable branch of debian: woody gets security updates and sid gets the latest upstream version so they are both pretty secure as long as you run the usual apt-get update && apt-get upgrade regularly. Sarge doesn't have any of these benefits. That's why you shouldn't run it on a server or in any environment where security is an issue.
