IMHO, Debian seems to have the best record of successful upgrades. I run Sid on several of my boxes, which means it is in a constant state of upgrade. On my workstation, with a very eclectic mix of software, I have only started over from scratch twice in the last 10 years...Once in 2000 and once in 2007.

Hi there,

Just one question,

Is it better to upgrade debian using dist-upgrade or just download the new iso and reinstalling it?? I'm waiting for the squeeze final release.. Currently still using lenny.

Thanks
