It's great to hear of a happy Debian A+ user!  You're welcome, and thanks for
the kind words.

How you described the upgrade from stable to testing is exactly how it should
work, i.e., seamlessly.  That's one of the things I find so great about the
Debian packaging system.

Please let me know what "was not installed properly".  Sarge will have
periodic updates for critical problems, so I have a chance to fix it.  The
best way is to file a bug, either at http://bugs.debian.org or by using the
reportbug package on your Debian system.
