Upgrades on debian usually work as advertised, but I typically do at least a couple of upgrades early on in the piece by mirroring the active box (or restoring from last backup -- a good test of your disaster-recovery plans) onto a new box, and then doing the upgrade on that one. That way, if anything does go *pop*, you haven't hosed your production server. - Matt
