All apt sources have always been set to "Wheezy" since I installed it months ago. I never use the "Stable" name any more. Learned my lesson a few years ago when I upgraded an install of Etch--sources set to "Stable"--not realizing that Lenny had just become the new "Stable". I ended up with a hybrid system, a mix of Etch and Lenny. Amazingly, it still worked. And still does. However, I never 'apt-get upgraded' again for fear of trashing it. > If your current system uses Stable, you might want to switch that to > Squeeze for a while.

Wheezy (while still Testing) was a clean install on my personal desktop system replacing Fedora 12 which was showing its age and exhibiting some problems. All that's required now is to cease using 'dist-upgrade' for upgrading. Dist-upgrade was recommended in the user install manual while Wheezy was still Testing. Now, that it's Stable, 'upgrade' is the recommended method.
