Re: [PLUG] debian stable & 2.4?


My advice would be to upgrade to woody. I upgraded to woody from Potato,
and its very nice and stable.

In case you did not know,  to upgrade to woody:

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list, change all non-local mentions of "potato" or
"stable" (except security.debian.org) to "woody".

And do apt-get update
and do apt-get dist-upgrade

Good luck
