i have only '/usr/share/doc/apt/examples/apt.conf'. content is:
// $Id: apt.conf,v 1.43 1999/12/06 02:19:38 jgg Exp $
/* This file is a sample configuration file with a few harmless sample
options.
*/
APT
{
// Options for apt-get
Get
{
Download-Only "false";
};
};
// Options for the downloading routines
Acquire
{
Retries "0";
};
// Things that effect the APT dselect method
DSelect
{
Clean "auto"; // always|auto|prompt|never
};
DPkg
{
// Probably don't want to use force-downgrade..
Options {"--force-overwrite";}
}

the content of sources.list btw is:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian \
stable main contrib non-free
#deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian-non-US \
stable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian \
etch main contrib non-free
#deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian-non-US \
etch/non-US main contrib non-free
#deb http://linux.csua.berkeley.edu/debian/ \
stable main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ \
stable/updates main contrib non-free
#deb http://linux.csua.berkeley.edu/debian/ \
etch main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ \
etch/updates main contrib non-free
i replaced 'testing' with 'etch' today and haven't used apt-get since.
how do i tell which version (testing/stable) i'm running?
