Upgrade from etch to lenny

Debian has released a stable version of Debian 5.0 (lenny). If you're running previous version of Debian, you can easily upgrade.

1. Modify apt sources (pico /etc/apt/sources.list)

Replace the old etch lines with something like this:

deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main
deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib
