Re: Howto Debian Reinstall

Unfortunately, there is no mechanism in Debian to let you reinstall
easily. So you have to go through the "10 times" approach -- it took me
several (>=3) days to fully downgrade from Debian testing to Debian
stable, after a single update command... Oh, wait, I still have "17 not
upgraded" packages...

while upgrades are a "breeze" when using Debian, downgrades were never supported AFAIK. It is better to take sometime and make a better decision (the first time itself) as to which distribution is right for you. For more info on choosing the debian distribution appropriate for you, read
