If you have a spare machine, clone the machine in question and then edit the sources.list to point to testing. Do a dist-upgrade and see what, if anything, breaks. I recently did this with my web and mail servers and fortunately, nothing I was using broke. I figured that it's probably better to deal with it now rather than later. -- ...Rob Return address is obfuscated.
