In Debian I use stable Squeeze repository.

As you can see from the image above, the Debian Linux developers announced the exact date for the release of the highly anticipated Debian 7.0 (Wheezy) operating system.

Statler + Wheezy 1 year 15 weeks ago

I have two computers: one running Debian Squeeze and the other running CrunchBang Statler. I'm thinking of moving to Wheezy on the Debian computer. I like having both of the computers on the same Debian base, so I was wondering if I could also upgrade my CrunchBang machine's repositories to use Wheezy.Has anyone tried this?Thanks.
