I have successfully upgraded 64Studio, Debian, and Ubuntu. This ability is what won me away from Mandrake back in the 90s. I have been a Debian (and now Ubuntu as well) guy ever since. Where you run into problems is when you start adding 3rd party repositories. You may wish to disable those when upgrading, possibly even removing those packages that you installed from those repositories. Even still, my laptop has a large number of repositories, and I have been able to upgrade it, albeit with some massaging on my part. The take home message is that most problems can be overcome without a reinstall. Of course, this is only my experience, YMMV. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIRH84wRXgH3rKGfMRAjVHAJ9tqo0GxtJg4V3FfJwg9xGiCpWM/QCgiQ5X HGDKMNy8RIiV5J3DFAcUhgU= =id6Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
