[Typo3-debian] Version recommended for Debian woody 3.0

Hi Stefan,

I have converted my websites from standard v3.5.0 to 3.6.0, 3.6.1, 3.6.2 and 
3.7.0 on debian woody 3.0 without any problems. So yes 3.7.0 is able to work 
with woody v3.0 but be aware of the versioning extension. If you use mysql 
v3.xxxx it's not smart to use this extension as far as I know.

typo3-system I'm not sure. Just make sure you set it up like you should. To 
make a backup of your typo3 mysql database for a website just do:

mysqldump --opt -u [username] -p [database] > /home/[homediruser]/backup.sql

After this you will have a backup of your typo3 mysql database as a 
backup.sql job which you can import in any database you like using:

mysql -u [username] -p [database] < 
/whereyouputthebackup.sqlfileonwindows;-)
