Debian

→ experimental
→ unstable(Sid) → testing → stable
Unstable - repository where new & untested packages are introduced.
Testing - repository with packages from unstable, if no bug are found within 10 days.

main consists of DFSG-compliant packages, which do not rely on software outside this area to operate. These are the only packages considered part of the Debian distribution.
contrib packages contain DFSG-compliant software, but have dependencies not in main (possibly packaged for Debian in non-free).
non-free contains software that does not comply with the DFSG.
