Keep in mind that at this point potato = unstable. I wouldn't recommend
it for anything essential.
If you are prepared to have programs become temporarily unusable, it's
not too bad. I've only noticed minor inconveniences (fingers crossed
as I type that). You can upgrade by pointing your /etc/apt/sources.list
entry to unstable and using 'apt-get dist-upgrade'.
