    sarge is using 3.3.2 while etch is using 3.5.1

    so if you don't mind upgrading to testing, you could get 3.5.1. Just change your
    Code:
    /etc/apt/sources.list
    and make all the "stable" into "testing". Then
    Code:
    apt-get update
    apt-get dist-upgrade

    Better way is to use backports.org.my sources.list is quoted below:
    Code:
    #Security Updates
    deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
    
    #Main Repository
    deb http://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/debian/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free
    
    #Non-US Repository
    deb ftp://ftp.hu.debian.org/debian-non-US  sarge/non-US  main contrib non-free
    #Debian Mariallat
    deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sarge main
    
    #Debian Backports
    deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main
    B/W i dont(hate) use KDE.Only GNOME.but i saw this mail:
    http://lists.backports.org/lurker/me...e7079d.en.html

    deb ftp://office.deverto.hu/kde-backports/ sarge-backports/
