Just to clarify:

Sarge *is* Debian. Sarge is a nickname for the "testing" distribution of 
Debian. This is explained here:

   http://www.debian.org/releases/

Using *any* Debian install media (netinst, Sarge business card, etc) you 
can get to *any* other distribution of Debian, whether testing, stable, 
or unstable, with a simple apt-get command. If you want reiser support, 
you can likely just apt-get install it.

Personally, I don't like the Toy Story nicknames, because they are 
confusing over time. When I started with Debian, Potato was stable, 
Woody was testing, and Sarge was unstable. Now, Potato is non-existent, 
Woody is stable, Sarge is testing, and Sid is unstable. It changes every 
couple years. I would rather prefer that people refer to the 
distributions by stable/testing/unstable instead. Just a nitpick. :)
