Is there any magic needed to upgrade an existing slice, or will the official Debian upgrade instruction work fine?

Woah. That was fast!
dist-upgrade here we come!

Cool.
Time to upgrade my distro.

The upgrade was very seamless. I upgraded a fully functioning LAMP+DNS box without any issues. Took less than 5 mins for the entire process.

You people do realise that to upgrade a slice, you do not need to wait for them to provide an installation image, right?

No problem, enjoy! :)

Thanks for Lenny ant! For those asking, the normal Debian upgrade procedures work flawlessly. However, do not reboot. Put a ticket in and one of the Slicehost guys will update your kernel for you and reboot.
