Update Debian on Dockstar

Good morning:

My Dockstar has been happily running Asterisk and FreePBX since I got it all up-and-running back in Feb/March. I probably shouldn't try to "fix what ain't broken," but I am contemplating updating to the newest Debian (and * and FreePBX) if possible/appropriate.

I am a Linux noob, but was able to get the Dockstar to work by careful reading, script following, question asking and seemingly intuitive editing where appropriate.

Can someone point me in the proper direction for a "how-to" regarding updating Debian on the Dockstar? Bonus kudos to similar pointers regarding how to update Asterisk and FreePBX as well... :)

TIA

Brian

Debian upgrades are usually as simple as:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

If you want to upgrade from 'stable' to 'testing' though, you'd first edit /etc/apt/sources.list I prefer to keep with stable, and add security fixes with the following sources.list:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main

Is this what you mean, or something else?

For Dockstar, people usually log in as root so "sudo" is not needed.
For upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze, these lines are needed for the sources.list. However, please note that Squeeze is now stable, no longer test.
