I recently did this to one of my systems:
1. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to change instances of "potato" or
"stable" to "woody" or "testing".
2. apt-get update.
3. apt-get dist-upgrade.
You might not get all the desired packages. I had to manually install
xserver-xfree86. You may also have to set the symbolic link for
/etc/X11/X (ln -s /usr/bin/X11/XFree86 /etc/X11/X).
