It's probabaly better to do `apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade`.

BUT right now I would suggest anyone, but the devs, to keep off of
Breezy. Of course, unless you're ready to have your desktop hosed. Oh,
yes, that's the point of development branch ;).

I upgraded last week, and everything else seemed okay, but there were
problems with X.org and restricted modules. X.org got straightened
with a little help from forums.

Restricted modules, in my case fglrx-drivers, was trickier. I ended up
installing kernel 2.6.11 from Debian and very unofficial driver
packages from Flavio Stanchina[1]. Everything seems to work, only imms
is uninstallable, firefox hangs every now and then for no apparent
reason and there are tons of not very assuring messages about modules
during startup.

In other words: If you don't need those sinful, tainted, non-free
modules and preferrably can do without X.org for some time, it's
probably OK to go Breezy. But even then it pays to have another
computer with working system.
