I recently did this to one of my systems:

1. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to change instances of "potato" or
"stable" to "woody" or "testing".

2. apt-get update.

3. apt-get dist-upgrade.

You might not get all the desired packages.  I had to manually install
xserver-xfree86.  You may also have to set the symbolic link for
/etc/X11/X  (ln -s /usr/bin/X11/XFree86 /etc/X11/X).
