My reason for doing the apt-get dist-upgrade is from a byte I took long
ago when libc6 was upgraded. I ran my usual apt-get upgrade and it left
my box unusable. So, I found that if I do the dist-upgrade first, any changes
that are 'that deep' will be done, without a fight, and I am up-to-date w/o
the fight. I've run into a number of minor glitches using just apt-get
upgrade, and none (other than this one) using apt-get dist-upgrade
Hope that makes sense. :--)
