I prefer to use aptitude full-upgrade routinely - but I have the code

stable, Muhammad. you could get in quite a mess at the changeover
point from Squeeze to Wheezy if you have stable in your sources.list,
as several people have pointed out.
if i use Squeeze (the code name) instead stable, sid or anything.
should i not to worry about system crash? is it what people here mean
to say (who support code name "squeeze" ) that if i "apt-get
upgrade/full-upgrade/safe-upgrade" will not crash my system if using
squeeze. because what i am worried about here is system crash.
I'm afraid that I don't understand you. Why should you have a system
crash?
i know my question regarding comparing Windows and Linux a bit
annoying,
No, it is not annoying - merely somewhat difficult to follow. Here, we have
been an all-Unix house for some years. We were all-Linux until recently, but
my granddaughter has a new laptop, which is a Mac with OSX, so still Unix.
So I am not very au fait with Windows problems.
but i had bad experiences with upgrading windows from one
version to another one. and in linux i just run the command "ap-get
upgrade" and after few minutes i was working in wheezy regardless of
sid or testing (so the simplicity of the process left me very
confuse). i know how patches and service packs in
windows can turn people's life to nightmare. actually i am the only
resource in system and network in my company and i am the only one who
is motivating management to shift to linux. so i am a bit scared.
because this is new world to me.
Your description of life under Windows shows why many of us simply don't use
Windows.
In your shoes most of us would be scared. Well, I certainly would be. It's a
huge responsibility, and the buck stops with you!
however i learn too much from this thread and from this mailing list.
i am thankful to everyone for sharing your views/thoughts/suggestions
. i know remaining confusions will be clears after getting use to
with linux.
Just ask whenever there is something you don't understand. One of the
beauties of this list is that it is a) large and b) worldwide. So, what with
all the different time zones there is always someone around.
And yes, you will soon get used to Linux. But from what you say, I really
would stick to Squeeze for now, provided that it is OK on your hardware. Get
it going rock-solid and you will soon win converts. Time enough to fly in
the rarefied regions of pinning and mixed systems when you have really found
your feet.
Good luck!
