You've got it: mailto:debian-user@lists.debian.org
The basic procedure is:
1. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to point to 'potato' instead of
'slink'.
2. Then run "apt-get update"
3. Then run "apt-get dist-upgrade"
4. Then ask specific questions here.
Some significant changes are:
* Kernels 2.2 no longer need a route for the lo interface.
* Interfaces are now configured in /etc/network/interfaces.
* Most docs now live in /usr/share/doc, /usr/share/info, and
/usr/share/man.
* Perl package name goes from perl to perl-5.005.
* Many others...
