I wouldn't. With that kind of hardware, a window manager would be much
better. Something like icewm, fluxbox, etc.

Dear Debianists,
I installed Sarge 3.1 r3 on a Gateway 2000 PC (133 MHz) with a 13GB hard
drive I put in it.
I am going to upgrade to Etch RC1.
Because the machine is rather slow, I had to remove gnome and replace it
with xfce4.
I noticed when I installed Etch on my 1200MHz machine at home

You have a point, but the way I look at it one "testing" branch is as
good as the other. On machines where I want to avoid this I use "stable".
Nothing against your practise. As I can see from your post, you know
what you are doing. It's just to make sure OP is knowing,

I would create an /etc/apt/preferences file like this:
---
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 650
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing

Almost. _If_ you have access to all 3 branches (in sources.list) then
testing (currently "etch") wil

Hi,
I know this question has been asked and answered several times, but I'm
unable to find it in the archives, so...
What do I do?
Change /etc/apt/sources.list to point to etch instead of sarge
and update, upgrade anything else?
Thanks
Severino
