Are you planning to upgrade your Debian etch on your server? It’s quite simple. You just need to follow these two steps.
Edit sources.list
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
and change all words etch to lenny,
Update and upgrade
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install apt dpkg aptitude
sudo aptitude full-upgrade
that is all.
Do it on command line instead of running it through GDM/KDE so that these services get started automatically without any issues during the upgrade.

If you’re unable to hear the startup sound in your Debian lenny installation, do ensure that you have installed libesd-alsa0, esound packages to get them working.
#sudo aptitude install libesd-alsa0 esound
Now have fun..

It is very hard to explain novice users about making changes to some of the configuration files. Hence, I always keep digging into tools which helps us to make life easier. Especially on Ubuntu.
To make changes to GRUB default option, we need not tell users to edit the configuration when we have a tool called “grub-choose-default“.
First get it installed using following command on your terminal or by using Synaptic package manager.
sudo aptitude install grub-choose-default
Once this is done, you can execute the following command in terminal or via run prompt (Press Alt+F2 to get it ) to get the GUI tool to edit Grub Default .
sudo grub-choose-default
Once you get this window, select the operating system which you want to boot by default. And you will be done with it.
