Stable is currently still etch and thats getting quite old. Lenny is however frozen and pretty upto date and is in the process of becoming the next stable. So it might be an idea to go lenny (testing) now and ride this through to lenny becoming "stable". But don't add lenny or sid packages to an etch system unless you know what you are doing (eg backporting your self). Expect breakage if you do and if you point your source.lst at testing or unstable you will actually just end up upgrading your system to that version anyway.
