Realizing this is dependent on computer specs, just curious what some of the people on this list have experienced for how much time it took to do the Lenny to Squeeze upgrade, (assuming a fully up-to-date Lenny system).

well, I just finished doing that very same thing. My system crashed last night about 8pm. I , uh, messed up my lenny installation a bit.. it wouldn't boot to X... so from 9pm-midnight I worked on it, went to bed, started back this morning & another 3 hours, I finally got it functioning like days of old.

I had issues with:
running out of root disk space, so I spent an hour removing packages
not being able for my user to log in ( switched from gdm to kdm, and it worked) partitions not being mounted ( /etc/fstab entries it didn't like. changed the to say "defaults" and it worked again)
installed trinity-kde3.5 so my wife could use her old kde3 kmail app..

so I am back on my gnome desktop, squeeze installed, right now.
