Re: Ubuntu Crossgrade
David Sanders said:
So, a small question - How suicidal is crossgrading back to Debian by
altering my APT sources? I've seen a few blogs saying it works, and I
do have a lot of customised stuff on my main laptop which I'd prefer
not to have to recompile. I'm pretty technically-adept and don't mind
fixing a few issues, but I'd just like to get any horror stories or
otherwise that anyone has.
Thanks!

>From my understanding, when Ubuntu first come out you could get away with cross grading; but everything I have read says that Ubuntu and Debian are too far removed at the core for that now. If you pulled it off you would likely face major stability issues...
Maybe you could try a fresh debian install and attempt your custom programs as is on that? I'm sure it would be at the very least unstable as well..
Really I think you'll have to bite the bullet and take it as it comes. But I'm not an expert by any means
