I don't think anybody is quite understanding my question.
I know how to use APT, and I know exactly how to throw together
sources.list. I've upgraded into Lenny purposely, but I'm wondering if
there is some kind of reason it says SID when I get to the login screen
(My /etc/issue says Debian Lenny/Sid).
I wasn't asking for help on forming a sources.list file, I understand
all of that. I was just wondering why the name had sid on it if I was
running testing (As a rolling release, i.e. rolling right into Lenny
from Etch).
