I was wondering if it is possible to switch to lenny by upgrading the system, w/o breaking anything. If someone has done it please make me know how it went. At now i am using backports but some stuffs are really needed to be upgraded.
I think it will not work when you do dist-upgrade, but you can update individual packages if you want just that. You have to try, I would prefer backports and you can compile from source...
well i stay in etch and i added backports however some really nice stuff are not there yet.. in any case, i compiled a few packages from unstable source and they work pretty well!
