if you want to update your distribution, you might want to try "apt-get
dist-upgrade" also have a look at http://www.us.debian.org/CD/faq/ for
the versions of whats available and how you can install it.
3.1r4 is the current "stable release", however if you want more up to
date packages, might try 'testing' or 'unstable'.
More information can be got at the debian wiki located at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian
