Distribution upgrades via apt-get or aptitude have been smooth and easy for many years. I have one server that's been in-place upgraded from Woody through Lenny with only minor dependency issues--that's 4 distribution upgrades over 5 years--Woody, Sarge, Etch, Lenny. Then again, I don't use Debian kernels, so my kernels were never upgraded during the dist upgrade. This may have prevented some headaches. I roll my own kernels from kernel.org source and tend to keep fairly current. So, when I do a dist upgrade my current kernel is usually newer than what the dist upgrade provides. The fact I leave out features I don't need may play a role in preventing problems as well. -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
