Yes, that was what I would expect. But I always update before safe-upgrading
and so far it hasn't.

Etch was starting to get a bit long in the tooth, and I had begun to think
that the next reinstall I did I would use Lenny. So when I installed a
distro on my shiny new HDD (an older one having been replaced without
question under guarantee by Western Digital :-) ), I installed Lenny and
tidied up my /home. The only major thing that has (temporarily) been broken
was CUPS, and that was very temporary and barely inconvenienced me. I have a
few problems with Sane - but I had those with Etch, and have so far not
tackled them.
But to answer your question, no, no particular reason. Pushing the boundaries
of my knowledge/experience?
I was really intending Lenny for my husband, who hates change and could have
had Lenny for longer than Etch. But I in the end installed PCLinuxOS 2007
for him, which my granddaughter loves. Peter doesn't, but dislikes the idea
of my touching it even more.
