Hi all,
I've got a number (60ish) of debian stable boxes at work, and i'd like =
get them upgraded to the new release now for various reasons. What would =
happen if I do a dist-upgrade to testing now, and change my sources to =
stable again on the day the new version of stable is released? Then =
apt-get update any changes.=20
Will something evil happen?=20
Theres plenty on google regarding downgrading and its pitfalls but not =
in this manner/timeframe.

thanks for any help
Good talk/pub session on Wednesday.

Mike H.
