Welcome.

I just did this yesterday. It was so simple, even *I* couldn't screw it up.

In /etc/apt/sources.list, change all occurrences of 'potato' to either
'testing' or 'woody'. The difference is subtle. See Colin's message that he
posted a few minutes ago for the distinction.

Then, do 'apt-get update', followed by 'apt-get dist-upgrade'.

Done.

I chose not to upgrade XFree. One problem at a time.
