Whenever I did an apt-get dist-upgrade I never had a problem with doing that. To be safe, I believe what you could do, is edit your sources.list to woody, and then do "apt-get update" to get the newest list. Then you could apt-get install ssh, and I believe it should upgrade your version if there have been updates. Then do a dist-upgrade and it won't touch ssh. I've had debian on my webserver for a year or so, and installed many times on my laptop or pc, and never had any problems with dist-upgrading.

So, what's the best way to do it? If i lost net connection, i'm stuck. (Grab a monitor, a keyboard etc. take it to the cellar of the box at the other end of the city, reboot, wait, repait and menawhile i got a few hoers downtime...) That's s.th. i'm afaraid of so i should try to avoid it... But how can a connecten get lost whiel dist-upgrade and what can i do to avoid this? I have an other box wich ist nearly similar t that interbox in the LAN, so i can try it there first, but they dont share the network connectin and config. An i can't switch boxes, the are to different. Has anybody done s.th. like that before? With succes?
