Richmond, the answer is Debian.  You cannot do a proper quality job

new versions as often as they do.  The only way to go is rolling release.

  So you've said; but I'm bu**ered if I am going to go to all the trouble
of going
through my heavy personal customisation process with a new distro.


I would boot from a Live  CD, use the dd command to make a raw image backup
of the entire drive. Then upgrade. If the upgrade is terrible, simply dd the
raw image back to the drive and nothing is lost other than the backup and
restore time.

Thank you so much; I knew nothing about the dd command. That is exactly what I shall do.
