How do I upgrade from woddy to sarge?

Yup, it is a good time to upgrade your version from woody to sarge with following two commands (oh yah make sure you have backup of important data) :

# apt-get update
#apt-get dist-upgrade

Note: Change all (non-local) references to "woody" to "sarge" in /etc/apt/sources.list. Then run above commands.
