Well I mean that there are lots of applications that are old in Woody.

I am beginning to grok Debian's philosophy regarding that.

Uptime is nice but I would like to use Tramp in Emacs and other current 
software. I am able to do this without crashing under Red Hat. [ Since they 
have moved to a non-free update system I am switching to Debian.]

If I have Woody installed, how do I upgrade to unstable?
