Hi Sumo,

Hi Andreas,


I have gone through the update (without giving much thought I have to
admit) and there was no trouble here. I guess I didn't give a second
thought because of the good record updating Debian has with me. I always used to run unstable; sometimes I had (minor) problems, but before Sarge
turned stable, I switched from testing to stable, together with a few
backported packages. Ever since I do an apt-get update/upgrade from time
to time and had no hiccup ever.


Yes, I agree :)

Based on the fine advice of the many good gentleman and gentlewomen
on this mail-list, I've done the upgrade, and it went without a hitch.

I'll never figure out how they upgrade the C library without bring the
system down.

Kudos to the great men and women who make Debian the great O/S that it is.

PS.
About a year ago I upgraded my father's Windows XP SP1 to SP2. I still
shake when I remember the horror of that experience.
