Hi,
maybe my question is very dull, but i want to ask you - how to upgrade the
entire distribution using the experimental repositories or at least some
definite package ?
It is not recommended, better upgrade only packages you want.

So, in brief, the question is how to upgrade properly a package (for
example: gnome network manager to version 0.7 from 0.6.6) to its
experimental version ?
Add experimental to your sources.list ; aptitude update and aptitude
-t experimental install package
