You just need to change 'stable' or 'potato' to either woody or sid in
/etc/apt/sources.list, and then run `apt-get update` and then `apt-get
dist-upgrade` (the latter you may need to run more than once).

Sid is more up-to-date, but changes quite often, sometimes for the worse.
Woody is a bit older in some of its programs, but doesn't change so often,
and is perhaps more seldom broken.
