Re: got my woody working, wanted to upgrade, already ruined my system

I think as you say all you have to do, or at least that's how i did it a 
few times is, update your sources list and point to testing aswell,
apt-get update,
apt-get dist-upgrade.
Seems a whole lot better than downloading 2 iso's again.

Stable is very stable...i'm learning to live with it now since last 
week's mess i had with SID.
Stable for my DVR/imap/samba sever, SID/winXP on the desktop beast...so 
if SID goes bonkers on me i just go back to winXP for a few days and 
then run an apt update which usually fixes SID :)
Testing, well....that's sorta like grandma, everyone loves her but no 
one wants her in their house permanently..
So for me from now on, stable and only get backports of stuff if i 
really really need..

Cheers.
