Use Debian "Stable" (currently "Lenny" 5.0.3 ). Use the "testing" repositories instead if you want a more up-to-date desktop system, its generally pretty safe (do NOT use "testing" on a server, as those packages do not recieve timely security patches compared to "stable"). I dont reccomend ever using "sid" (the current bleeding-edge, akin to fedoras 'rawhide')
