Do you guys think it's worth to do a dist-upgrade to stable at this

he doesn't want to go that route since he'd have to reconfigure it
all (i'd personally be willing to pay that price to be able to have
the comfort of trusting the contents of the machine). Do you think
it'd be good to give it a shot anyway? or would it just be a
complicated way of delaying the unavoidable?
As others have pointed out, you are likely to spend quite a bit of time
configuring the new stuff anyway, so that a reinstall would not take
more time than an upgrade. However, if you have some time and enjoy
experimenting, you might try an upgrade. I would recommend backing up
the entire hard disk (you might consider clonezilla-live or use
partimage directly) so that you can restore the entire system with a
minimum fuss.
Good luck, and please post your experience if you do decide to experiment :)
