The recommendations in the section "General Upgrade Instructions" should apply here. Another thing probably worth to mention is that some big packages (xorg, mono, firefox, etc) are about to go stable in the near future. So it is maybe a good idea to upgrade this packages in one go with the gcc upgrade to avoid needlessly double compilation. -- Daniel Pielmeier
