amd64 testing repository


Hi
I currently run debian (unstable - aka - sid) on x86_64 (i.e. intel P4 em64t). What
I really want to run is testing (etch?), but haven't found a repository for packages. Would somebody please direct me to one, thanks.

Bye,
Thanks.

Most any repository will have all the variations. You just need to change the references in your /etc/apt/sources.list file from sid/unstable to etch/testing. There are some considerations tho for switching to testing AMD64 right now.

Read this.
