Crazy, eh! > > Good luck Maya, you should read a little more closely the thread before sending nearly 100%-wrong advices. . gnome2 is not in unstable yet (part of it only) . dist-upgrade is not 'better' that update, they are different and both explained in the appropriate man page. . And your line by line stuff is crap. apt-get update download all recent packages description files and it is better to change everything from stable to unstable in one time when upgrading (when dist-upgrade makes sense).
