disturbances? Have you upgraded a Debian from old->new stable before? You should just upgrade to Squeeze. Lenny was my first Debian (had tried to install woody years ago, but the installer never got my X working, on various hardware...weird... so I stuck with RH/Fedora from RH7.0 up to FC4, then played with ubuntu, pclinuxos, and a few others. RH/FC, Ubuntu, PC, etc., all frequently broke stuff on updtes/upgrades). So, the lenny->squeeze upgrade was my first Debian upgrade. EASIEST UPGRADE EVER! Seriously. Not only was I thrilled that Squeeze was released on my birthday, but I spent about 1 hour doing the upgrade, and was back in business as if nothing had changed (except, well, stuff was even better). No disturbances. I'm not lying. While I have tried numerous distributions in the past, after such a completely seemless and ridiculously easy upgrade, especially, and the rock solid/nothing ever breaks stability of Debian STable, I just can't imagine myself ever wanting to change to another distribution again. Ever. So easy to upgrade. ./tony -- http://www.tonybaldwin.me All Tony, all the time! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
