it should probably be ok, but once if it was my system and i had upgraded to testing(i haven't yet..not sure if i want to) i wouldn't do upgrades too often. if you have the time and patience go at it. i originally started using unix because i was sick of the broken stuff on win32. people on the list should always be able to help you through problems that arise. i don't have the patience to work through dependency nightmares though, what i got in potato works good, some of it is outdated, but its also very stable. if it were my systems i wouldn't use testing, even on 'testing' machines, at least not yet. i didn't start using potato until RC1 last year(or did they call it beta 1? i forget) probably won't start using woody until about the same time(i.e. long after it has frozen and stuff). i just reinstalled my desktop on friday or saturday because my hd died and im using potato again! good luck nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
