Ive been playing around with sid and crunch bang.
recently I decided to try out the atposid (sidux) repos in statler.
So far every thing is going smoothly.
what i did

1.added the aptosid repos to etc/apt/sources.list so it looks like this

## CrunchBang Linux 10.xx aka Statler
## Compatible with Debian Squeeze, but use at your own risk.
deb http://packages.crunchbanglinux.org/statler statler main
#aptosid
# Free University Berlin/ spline (Student Project LInux NEtwork), Germany
deb ftp://ftp.spline.de/pub/aptosid/debian/ sid main fix.main
#deb-src ftp://ftp.spline.de/pub/aptosid/debian/ sid main fix.main
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
2 added the aptosid keyring
apt-get install aptosid-archive-keyring

3installed aptosid custom kernel  (2.6.35)
sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6-aptosid-amd64 linux-headers-2.6-aptosid-amd64
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

this way the updates are less likley to damage your sustem then the regular sid repos

Edit i must mention that i had to reintroduce flash to statler after the dist upgrade with the new 64 bit
version on adobe's web site.

im sorry if this has been explained before but i could not find it on the forums. I need to know
how to switch from the default testin repos to sid. Im familar with arch but not debian and I wanted
to make this a rolling release as I have gotten used to that style of os. thanks so much:D
