Hi again, I've been using RH 6.x (up to 2 now), but have been looking at switching to Debian witht the new potato 2.2 released. Ihaven't been able to find out about Debian's facilities for upgrading to future versions. Redhat allows to upgrade without a complete install, using the RPM package manager. Can you do this sort of thing with Debian? or must you install a new system? Thanks again for your collective help. -- --terry Name: Terry D.
