Is there a way to set up aptitude so that it allows me to view experimental packages? I don't know anything about how I should set up /etc/apt/sources.list... Thanks!...

    To go unstable, just change the stable or testing words in your sources.list to unstable and do a:
    Code:
    apt-get update
    apt-get upgrade
    apt-get dist-upgrade
