You can upgrade just about any distro. The big question is how well it is going to work. If you can do a full install, that is probably the best way to go. That being said, I have upgraded multiple versions of Mandrake with little problems. I also upgraded a store bought copy of RedHat 8.0 to RedHat 9.0 with the download version, and then used apt to upgrade it to Fedora Core 1. I think the main question is how much you have been messing with your system since you first installed it. If you upgraded lots of software from unofficial sources you will probably have problems with the upgrade. I have also heard lots of good things about upgrading between different versions of Debian using apt. However I have never done a full dist-upgrade under Debian.

Quoting Jason Louie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
This is not asking which is the best distro.
Is there a distro that can upgrade the *WHOLE* distro? So for example SuSE
8.2 to 9.0? I'm talking about the whole distro, (glibc, kernel...).
I believe Gentoo can do it but since I'm running a P233 I don't want to wait
3 weeks for things to compile.
