Objection.
Login as root. Open /etc/apt/sources.list in a text editor. Edit the
contents to...
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable updates
(without the indents). Save. Connect to the Internet. Type:
script
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
You are now running an impressively cutting-edge GNU/Linux box. (You have
just efficiently upgraded all installed packages to "potato", the
current "unstable" distribution, which is very close to being re-branded
as the "stable" branch. A record of your upgrade is in text file
"typescript".)
