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?
It's not always smotth, but its certainly possible.
Ubuntu can also do the samething.
ie. Friend had Ubuintu Breezy installed and recently did a apt-get
dist-upgrade to Ubuntu Dapper. Of course he had some odd problems, but
managed to work through them and get the machine upgraded without the
need for a reinstall.
So it's certainly possible.
Certainly worked OK here - dist-upgrade from Breezy to Dapper - all OK
apart from a bug introduced by Dapper where the default sound card
setting is not saved properly between reboots.
