I've done apt-get dist-upgrade without problems, but it really depends
on *when* you do it. If you go from one stable version to another
stable version (for instance from Potato to Woody), you shouldn't see
any problems (at least I can't remember having any). If you
dist-upgrade from stable to testing during a stable testing period (no
big changes in testing, like GNOME or KDE has just moved to testing),
then you shouldn't see any problems. The problems with doing
dist-upgrade from stable to testing happen when you do it right in the
middle of a KDE, Gnome or one of those big packages, upgrade. Then
everything breaks....
