But Debian and ubuntu upgrades are almost trivial and best not done with a fresh install. You just do an apt-get update, then apt-get dist-upgrade. Or if you are using the synaptic GUI, it's all point and click I think. The catch is that you need to keep your specially compiled stuff installed with care, preferabty under home or /usr/local/bin/ to allow you to upgrade with ease.
