Exactly what apt-get does best. Add something like this to
/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free
Change that to Woody if you want the very latest.
Then:
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get dist-upgrade
However, be prepared for some problems. You might run into difficulty
with the perl and libc upgrades, for instance.
