I don't know what you're talking about Gary... I love every minute of it! :) As I said a few messages back, Woody has easily been stable enough for the desktop environment for months now. Once you get Woody all up and running (assuming that you don't have any major problems during the upgrade) you'll be running just as stable as Potato for all intents and purposes. I wouldn't bet a multi-billion dollar business venture on it, but you'll still be more stable than any OS Microsoft has ever put out. :) As for documentation, the update is quite transparent (assuming, as I said above, that you don't have any major problems during the upgrade.) All you do is update your sources.list with a testing entry, start up dselect, Update, and then Install. -Alex
