    | Hi,
    | 1. After installing the "Testing" release , is it possible to upgrade
    | it to the "stable" release ?

    You can _upgrade_ to sid (unstable) or you might try to _downgrade_ to
    sarge (stable), though downgrading might not be possible in *all* the
    cases, and is not as easy as upgrading, as there is not an 'apt-get
    dist-downgrade' option.

    *Eventually*, if you use 'etch' instead of 'testing' in your
    'sources.list', when 'etch' becomes stable ;-)
