Lenny (Testing) is complete. It just happens to be nearly identical to
Etch at the moment.
I've got a quick question, I'm wondering if I'm the only one: For some
reason my /etc/debian_version says I'm running "lenny/sid", I'm hoping
this is only temporary though?
Not that I care what my version is called, but I'm just wondering. I
haven't been around long enough for a version upgrade yet.
My Etch box (installed when etch was still testing) says 4.0.
How did you end up with lenny/sid?

No idea, all I have is testing in my sources.list
[pobega]$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Etch_ - Official Snapshot i386
# NETINST Binary-1 20070107-08:41]/ etch contrib main
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main
And I haven't touched unstable anytime recently. Is it safe to just edit
/etc/issue and /etc/debian_version by hand, or are they for more than
show?

So, for the benefit of this newbie:
If I change my sources list to reflect "testing" rather than "etch",
will my system just automagically continue to upgrade itself? Will this
system - as it upgrades to Lenny - remain stable enough for daily use?
What do others on this list do?
Cheers
