I was wondering if there would be any issues like that. Can you
elaborate a little on the kinds of things that might go wrong? I must
admit that when I do run apt-get update/upgrade, I don't always look
over things thoroughly.

The machine, by the way, is mostly for experimental use, so I can learn
about the GNU/Linux world (having spent most of my computer days on...
that other OS).
