Let's say, (1) your systems are _production models_, and you want to use debian because you don't want to take risk on security and stability. resolvation -> do not upgrade - the risk of upgrading is always higher than the risk of getting the system screwed up by a upgrade. however, any further machines can be debian w/o problems since you are building it from scratch. woody for you :-) (2) your systems are _upgradable production models_, and you want to use debian for admin-wise ease. resolvation -> ok, try cloning some working station to a testing platform, backup the data on a third computer, install debian on testing platform; upgrade to woody, put back working files, run it for a day or two, see if you get some complaints if no, try a box or two for a month, if still working, do it. (remember to set cron job to upgrade _potato_ boxes, however, for woody and sid, i suggest manual upgrade packages (apt-get update; apt-get install [package] = upgrade ONE package.. :P)) (3) you think i'm a nerd to answer such short question in paragraph length resolvation -> close this mail my $6.62*10**-34 dollars :P -- Ma che mistero, e la mia vita, che mistero!
