This is a wide open question and ideally I'd like to be pointed to a FAQ or some other documentation.
Mainly I want to know the best way to upgrade from slink to potato. I'm quite knowledgeable about Debian (I've been using slink for a loooooong time now) but the last time I tried it, the new glibc2.1 broke just about everything (including dpkg/gzip!). Is there a specific order in which I should upgrade? Would an apt-get upgrade to the unstable branch suffice? Thanks!
