I see a lot of references to different repositories to use, whether or not you should do an apt-get upgrade, whether or not you should even do an apt-get update, but the posts all seem to be pre-karmic release, or right as karmic was released. |
A system upgrade is not recommended as several aps are custom built and probably won't work anyway. Performing apt-get update is fine, nay it's necessary in order to keep your system up to date especially if you tinker with your repos.

Apart from swapping between Jaunty & Karmic you could always add the Debian repo deb
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stable main
(Replacing ftp.
de.debian.org/debian with the mirror in question, e.g. us uk etc.)
Don't worry about screwing up your device they really are pretty tough little blighters
