Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
It should contain lots of lines. Edit one of the lines starting with
deb, and instead of the word
stable/potato, type testing. Save the file.
Then do at the command prompt, 'apt-get update'.
That will update your packages list to the latest from the ftp or http
server.
Then do 'apt-get dist-upgrade'.
RTFM apt-get.
