Hi Peter,
Etch is close to being released, its currentenly in 'freeze'. So AFAICT
Apache 2 is not a moving target in Etch. It should be 'stable' in less
than 2 months if all goes well.
Cheers,
Kev

I'd recommend just going with Etch. As long as you keep the box
reasonably locked down, there isn't too much to worry about and it will
be officially stable Real Soon Now (TM).
