I'm not sure that Debian 2.0 has apt-get.

Section 3.3 deals with upgrading from Debian 2.0.
To be honest though, I'd wipe the 2.0 installation and start over. If
the hardware hasn't been changed since 1997, its bound to be better
supported by now.

Your hardware (what is it?) is more likely to be supported now, so maybe
you won't need the 5 days.
2.2 is a decent step up from 2.0, though. It's likely that all of your
packages would get upgraded. You might spend 5 days just downloading
