Yes. Woody is ancient. It's still the "current" version of Debian, which
is why you found it and downloaded it, but it is soon to be replaced by
a new version, named Sarge. You'd probably be much happier
downloading/installing Sarge rather than Woody.
Historically, Debian has had longer releases than other distributions of
Linux, which works out well for many system administrators who don't
need the constant upgrade cycle prevalent in those other distros. For
the more bleeding-edge users, Debian offers the "testing" (currently
"Sarge") and "unstable" (always "Sid") branches.
