What problems? :-? The only issue I could expect would be that while you are using an old Debian version now "stable" points to "squeeze" and that can give you lots of conflicts and problems. > is http://securty.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib still viable? Yep... well, it should be: http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib ^ (you missed the "i" of "security") Also, be sure you really don't want to use the codenames instead (lenny/ squeeze...) > After I get through the updates from Debian something (not sure what > version I have) I'll start working on the rest.

Are you thinking in performing an upgrade or installing a new version from scratch... or maybe jump to Ubuntu (just kidding :-P)? Now seriously, if you are think in upgrading it's recommended that you first read the corresponding Release Notes.
