That does look kind of trollish. Sorry. Post in haste, repent
at leisure.

Laziness. Fear.
I have _never_ done an "upgrade" that didn't break something,
and after lurking here for a while I suspect that udev and
x.org would have me thrashing about for several days.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it: sarge works for my simple
needs, and I'll probably stick with it until "progress" breaks
something _I_ use.
Or until my hardware fails and I have to go with a new
install anyway. Given the age of my stuff, that's the most
likely scenario.
If the gift CDs I used to install Debian had been buzz, I'd probably
be sticking with _that_.
