Tom, can you back this by *evidence*? That said, I *never* ever had a *failed* Debian upgrade. Just upgraded my server VM from Squeeze to Wheezy. In about an hour. Only thing that broke was ContentNegotiation with Apache, still want to write a bug report about it, cause its easily fixable when one knows where to look. Reading release notes is a good idea of course. About config changes in software? This you will always have. Upgradeability is one of the main reasons I use Debian for. At work unless we want to have a clean start for a customer or an own machine we also only upgrade. -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
