    This is really a good and comprehensive article. Some further questions:

    In order to get all stable, testing and unstable from the same server,
    I read that the the deb source line should be altered (but no how). Could
    you give us an example?

    Can you explain this a bit please? The first line of my
    /etc/apt/sources.list (testing) is

    deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main.

    I think to pick cdrom first, you have to give sarge/woody the top
    priority, right?

    Interesting, that was what the article I was reading suggested...

    How big the difference is between testing and unstable? Anybody knows?

    Thanks
