I turned up this discussion about this very topic: http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=04/12/14/152237 in which numerous respondents say that Debian and Gentoo and Mandrake (and Arch Linux) can all have the distro itself upgraded. So, a question for the Debian, Gentoo etc. users: have any of you have had a problem when you tried to get the system to upgrade itself from an older release (e.g. Debian 3.0 to 3.1)? Or does it always work perfectly smoothly? luke -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
