Yes, please commit. But please fix the English language. Please use this text: ------------ Q: How to upgrade a Debian system from stable to testing (or to unstable)? A: A normal installation process installs a Debian "stable" system. You can upgrade from "stable" to "testing" by changing the distribution suite name string in the file "/etc/apt/sources.list" from "stable" to "testing" (or by changing the distribution codename string from "&releasename;" to "&testingreleasename;"). You can upgrade from "stable" to "unstable" by changing the distribution suite name string in the file "/etc/apt/sources.list" from "stable" to "unstable" (or by changing the distribution codename string from "&releasename;" to "sid"). After this change, a regular upgrade (e.g. by running "aptitude dist-upgrade") will execute the full upgrade. These operations come with some risks. Please read "Life with eternal upgrades" in "Debian Reference" for details. (Put link to http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_life_with_eternal_upgrades) ------------ Thanks, Bye, Joost
