So why do you want to upgrade to it then?

Well, you could change to Debian/testing. But then you could end up
with a machine which needs some hands on to fix (like running some
commands in command shell and manually know what to do). It's is your
choise to do. But as I wrote earlier, I think you should get use to
Debian packages etc in Debian/Etch before you try Debian/testing. It
might be worth it, if you don't depend on that machine to be running
24h/7d without any major problems. As you know Murphy is there when
you least wish for it. Been there, done that

But I learned
a lot about Debian in a short time, and worked real hard on that for a
while with my program/report.

Good luck
