True. You should be able to use this to keep yourself up to date. You
will have to use apt-get dist-upgrade first because your system seems to
be out of date from the time before woody became stable so you may have
to do a couple of loops of apt-get dist-upgrade || apt-get -f install
before it completely is updated. Then after that you should be able to
just use apt-get update && apt-get upgrade once a week or more in order
to bring down security updates.
