Firstly, I assume you're at least familiar with apt: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/index.en.html > i thought apt-get dist-upgrade would do the job but it is not. You need to update your sources.list file. By default this is in: /etc/apt/sources.list Here is a sample entry for "unstable: deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib Notice the "ftp.au.debian.org" - you should be able to find a list of mirrors from the Debian website. You can add the above entry in addition to whatever you already have. Once you have added it: apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade ...and expect to download a reasonable amount.
