Just edit your /etc/apt/sources/list to read sarge instead of woody/stable
then 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get -s upgrade' to see what will
happen without burning any bridges. Remove the '-s' to commit yourself.

You can also use the same technique to look at a 'dist-upgrade' which is
often recommended over the simple upgrade because it will usually pull in
extra dependencies. 

The Apt Howto should be required reading at this stage :-)
