oh - weird.
I always thought that upgrade kept the same version of the
distribution (potato, woody, sid, whatever) and just upgraded packages
that have been updated in that dist since last upgrade, but
dist-upgrade would actually go across distro release boundaries and
upgrade from, say, woody to sid if sid was now "stable" (optionally,
if you decided to go from stable to unstable or testing or whatever).
I should RTFM some more ... well, that and play around with Debian
more :)
