Here's what I do here: Open your /etc/apt/sources.list Duplicate the line you have for etch (only "deb ...", no need for "deb-src" now), and change the copy from "etch" (or "testing") to "experimental" You might want to add a line for unstable too Open (or create) /etc/apt/apt.conf and inserts something like: APT::Default-Release "testing"; so that apt-get/aptitude takes in testing by default apt-get or aptitude update you can check which package versions are available where by doing "apt-cache policy <package>" Then, tell apt-get/aptitude to take in experimental by doing one of the following lines: apt-get install xserver-xorg-core/experimental aptitude install -t experimental xserver-xorg-core As long as you don't add "/experimental" or "-t experimental", apt-get/aptitude takes in testing first.
