I've been a Debian user for about 7 years and have been running the
"testing" version since it began. I have yet to experience any
problems.  Just change your sources.list to point to testing instead of
stable, run 'apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade' and you should be
fine.  Occasionally you will find some packages temporarily "held back"
because the dependencies may not yet have been added to sarge. It is a
good idea to update/upgrade fairly often as new/revised packages
migrate from unstable to testing almost daily.
