Keep in mind that at this point potato = unstable. I wouldn't recommend it for anything essential. If you are prepared to have programs become temporarily unusable, it's not too bad. I've only noticed minor inconveniences (fingers crossed as I type that). You can upgrade by pointing your /etc/apt/sources.list entry to unstable and using 'apt-get dist-upgrade'.
