Upgrade advantage in Debian vrs. RedHat
Can someone explain the advantage many see in Debian upgrades vrs. RedHat?
To take a concrete example, lets say I planned to start upgrading my home
throwaway box (where I put up slink a few years back).
I have only installed so far using dpackage.
If I do apt-gets for a whole set of packages, I will get my add-ons upgraded
to the latest and greatest (if I understand this correctly). But I still
will have to make a plan & upgrade the *system* software, right? I.e.,
*everything* isn't packaged.
Am I missing something? While I can see that getting the add-on stuff
uptodate is of great value, I would rather be able to install a set of
packages (with fall-back capability) to do an upgrade.
Am I missing something?
TIA,
Darryl
