Chances are that if you've done "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade",
you've now got a potato system.

There's not really good way to straddle distributions.  If you want a
specific Potato package, best method may be to download the .deb and
attempt to install it.  You'll have to resolve dependencies yourself,
however.

I'm running Potato on both my home and work desktops, pretty happy with
it.  There are occasional breakages, but they are rare and generally
resolved fairly quickly.  YMMV.  Woody is *not* recommended for
production servers.
