-- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Hello all, this weekend I did a dist-upgrade on our file-server. Short: everything went fine. Long: This machine is our main NFS, YP, SambaPDC, Cups, DNS(local), and DHCP-server. It serves about 10 workstations and 5 laptops. Most of them are using windows, but I'm working on it. At least I wanted a new version of samba and Cups. Kernel was taken from sarge for a long time, because of no support for tg3 on woody. What I've done: Logged in through ssh ;-), backup-ed /etc, removed preferences with pinning to stable. Changed sources.list to a local mirror (because of speed), made apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade. Negated all changes to configuration files (see above programs) and half an hour later I got a new system. The only problem I encountered, was rejecting of double-sided printing on three printers. Reconfigured them with new ppds from cups and everything went fine again. I'm very impressed! Never saw such a simple upgrade, like within debian. Thanks a lot for your good work.
