That depends. I want to be able to *use* the thing, right off, and not have to fiddle with stuff to get it to work.
Confident in my skills? Yeah, I'd say so. Though there's a whole
lot of stuff I'd rather not have to bother with to get things functional ...
I'd much rather let the software set all of this up.
.... I need to upgrade, anyhow. Having gone through the whole upgrade of
Debian once on this box, I'd rather not go through that again multiple times,
so I'm going to just install 12.something on the new machine and then try and
port things over as best I can.

i see you mention running a pretty light desktop
management system so that also indicates someone who's
more into command line things.
Sometimes. It depends on what I'm trying to do. Most of the time lately it
comes down to email, web browsing, and managing those files that I keep on
collecting, mostly by plugging them into an HTML "tree" that lives on my server...
