This didn't work for me (first thing I tried).

Sorry, apt is already the newest version
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.
spaz:~# vi /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
~
/etc/apt/preferences: new file: 2 lines, 33 characters
spaz:~# apt-get -t testing install ssh
E: Command line option 't' [from -t] is not known.
spaz:~#
Naturally the next thing I did was "man apt-get" but that didn't
