It would be hard to find much in the way of a how-to, because it's so darn trivial :-) Modify your /etc/apt/sources.list, changing any occurrence of "woody" or "stable" to "testing". apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade That's it. For Woody to Sarge it's such a tried and true upgrade I can't imagine much in the way of a problem. It's worth keeping your sources set to "testing" in future. "stable" is for people who can't afford surprises - not those of us with laptops :-)
