I am finally deciding to upgrade to testing since I'm kinda tired of always running old versions of software. I found the following directions online and would like some opinions on how well this would work. What do you all think?

cp /etc/apt/sources.list{,.bak}
sed -i -e 's/ \(stable\|wheezy\)/ testing/ig' /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get --download-only dist-upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade



Is this the common way to do a full update? Has anyone ever tried it?
