Let's say,
(1) your systems are _production models_, and you want to use debian
because you don't want to take risk on security and stability.
resolvation ->
do not upgrade - the risk of upgrading is always higher than the
risk of getting the system screwed up by a upgrade.
however, any further machines can be debian w/o problems since you
are building it from scratch.
woody for you :-)
(2) your systems are _upgradable production models_, and you want to
use debian for admin-wise ease.
resolvation ->
ok, try cloning some working station to a testing platform, backup the data
on a third computer, install debian on testing platform; upgrade to woody,
put back working files, run it for a day or two, see if you get some
complaints
if no, try a box or two for a month, if still working, do it. (remember to
set
cron job to upgrade _potato_ boxes, however, for woody and sid, i suggest
manual upgrade packages (apt-get update; apt-get install [package] = upgrade
ONE package.. :P))
(3) you think i'm a nerd to answer such short question in paragraph length
resolvation ->
close this mail
my $6.62*10**-34 dollars :P
