Okay, so I just recently discovered that Debian's put out a new stable release, 3.1, and I want to go and upgrade all of murkworks.net's servers to be running this. Just to make sure I'm not missing anything, a question for the Debian geeks out there:

Is there any reason why I can't do this just via an apt-get command? Can I do this via apt-get update/apt-get upgrade, or should I do apt-get update/apt-get dist-upgrade instead? Also, since I have several versions of this, that, and the other package off backports.org, are there special accommodations I should make for that?

Any and all tips appreciated! I'd like to do this this coming weekend, so I'd like to get all my clues in a row before then. Thanks in advance!
