Choosing
nd users should generally choose to run either stable or testing. Stable is recommended for applications requiring production-level stability and security (servers, firewalls etc) and is also recommended for those who are new to Linux. Testing is recommended for slightly more advanced users who want newer software on their desktops and who are capable of reporting and fixing bugs to help Debian.
Choosing a debian distribution discusses the pros and cons of choosing one Debian distribution over another. And the overview of software for Debian Stable describes common ways Debian stable is enhanced with newer software or otherwise given extended capabilities.
The Debian FTP archives chapter of the Debian FAQ has even more information .

- experimental - Not really a release, but a repository where packages are tested (experimented) if they are not suited for unstable.
