It really depends on what situation you are using it for. If 200 customers 
are breathing down your neck if the machine fails in any way, ready to linch 
you then I would suggest sticking slink, but if you are not  particuallarly 
stressed then Potato is stable enough that you prolly wont notice a difference.
Ive been using Potato on a personal machine and had about 15 days of uptime
without a crash, though my potato mirror was fscked unfortunately :(
