Unless you are really, really, worried about stablity, I would just go ahead an upgrade to using etch, They are planning on releasing it to stable this year still. deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free contrib deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free contrib deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main non-free contrib then apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade Since you are working with VMware take a snapshot before making the changes and see if it works for you. You can always rollback then. Ryan
