I'll second that.  

#apt-get update
#apt-get upgrade

Lots of mirrors of the official packages available, too.

PLUS if you look over http://www.apt-get.org/ you'll find lots of "unofficial" packages including backports from unstable.  Add a line to your /etc/apt/sources.list and you can pull in any of them, while apt resolves the dependencies.
