What am I running now, Sarge or Sid?

2004-08-10 Thread Brian Pack 
I did a network install of Sarge from this past Saturday's daily .iso.
After install, I added the unstable distribution to my sources.list and
upgraded a number of packages.

So my question is: did I turn Sarge into Sid? Or do I still have Sarge?

Sounds more like you bodged it. upgraded a number of packages is
not a good thing to do -- it's a mix between your old testing
distribution and some of unstable. What you should always do is:

edit /etc/apt/sources.list, and s/testing/unstable/g (as an example,
change as appropriate).

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get -u dist-upgrade

when going from one distribution to the other. Of course, the fact
that you have to ask suggests you're unsure. Are you _really_ ready
to be running unstable?

Having a mixture of testing/unstable sources is NOT a good idea, and
you will break your system.

Both.  You probably want to pick one:  Either move everything to sid or
everything to sarge.

It's Sid. Upgraded everything except kernel-sources. Everything seems to
be running fine, if not a bit better. Apt even upgraded my nVidia
drivers without having to do anything with the kernel.
