RE: Upgrading from Stable to Testing
How do the two methods differ? I don't know anything about downreving,
so I wasn't aware that modifying my sources.list as outlined below would
prevent me from doing that... thanks for the response

I certainly wouldn't. Maybe you'll want to downrev to a stable package,
or
use something from unstable. I'd leave all the sources you might
possible
want to use in sources.list and add the line below to /etc/apt/apt.conf
APT::Default-Release "testing";
