woody is stable

If you don't know who Woody is, go watch Toy Story.  Sid (the brat next
door) is unstable.  Other releases have been potato, slinky, etc.

I suggest you change "woody" to "stable".  Then copy the stable lines
and change "stable" to "testing" (so you'll have entries for both stable
and testing).  Don't add unstable unless your want to risk having an
unstable system.

Depending on how "Debian" Lindows is, you'll have a lot of work to do. 
Debian runs the Xserver with options like " -nolisten TCP" and turns off
xdm.  Almost every file to do with X needs tweaking.
