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
