Well, maybe I should have pointed out that going to sid means going to
the bleeding edge, and it can sometimes break, plus I don't think you
should do it unless you have broadband (because of the frequent
updates), but I thake it you have it.

I really haven't ever tried a downgrade, I guess the easy way would be

but if things aren't all that smooth I guess you would like a faster
