May sound dim but I edited the sources.list apart from the title (Which may 
not matter) then did sudo apt-get -dist-upgrade as the sources.list is still 
titled Breezy it threw me for a bit, so whats this gksudo? thats a new one on 
me.

Yeah I suppose I ought to download it or order it one of the two mind you as I 
have the breezy cd its just as quick to upgrade that.

To be honest its more a backup system than anything else by that I mean 
something to use quickly and instead of my two main systems. I'm really 
trying hard not to use it too much as I too could get hooked on Ubuntu.

As I've said before I've changed my mind about Ubuntu but I just don't have 
the time to learn all the ins and outs of my two main systems let alone a 
whole new one.
