I guess I can add that given the mysql was the only real problem I
encountered upgrading, Etch looks to be in pretty darn good shape. The
other minor problems was the netscape navigator 4.77 packages breaking
the x.org /usr/X11R6 upgrade. I didn't realize they were still
installed. I guess starting out with Debian 2.1, and upgrading over the
years you end up with a bit of garbage left installed. I should check
for obsolete packages and clean them out more often. Thanks to all the
great maintainers that have made it possible to never have to reinstall
in 8 years of service.
