So, when would you use one or the other? In syaptic when you "mark all upgrades" it brings up a dialog box offering the choice of either upgrade or dist-upgrade which it calls smart upgrade on the button which selects it. Why would you do a "dumb" upgrade <G> Seriously, should one always use dist-upgrade? -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
