That's what i was wondering. Sarge hasn't gotten security updates in 
nearly 2 years. It's probably easier to upgrade to Etch, and then 
(optionally) to Lenny. If i'm not mistaken, Etch is still available as 
"oldstable", so that path shouldn't be too painful. Once the next 
release happens and Etch falls off completely, then i'd guess it would 
be easiest just to reinstall.

I have a machine that was originally installed with Sarge and is 
currently running Lenny. Both upgrades (to Etch, to Lenny) went very 
smoothly. Just be sure to follow the upgrade instructions in the release 
notes.
