Upgrade is riskyUpgrade is riskyPosted Nov 27, 2008 12:04 UTC (Thu) by cmot (subscriber, #53097)In reply to: Upgrade is risky by NAR Parent article: The Grumpy Editor's Asian Tour
Let's just note here that this confirms my impression that the unnamed
Linux distribution is opitimised for new installations, whereas its older relative puts more effort into testing that upgrades are handled in a sane way (and, in my experience, succeeds quite well at that, too.) It also does not try to release twice a year, but more like once every two years. (Yes, the feature junkies won't use stable, but for those who just need to do their daily work this works out quite well.)

Upgrade is risky Posted Dec 4, 2008 22:08 UTC (Thu) by anton (guest, #25547) [Link] Well, when I upgraded my laptop to Debian Lenny several weeks ago, I too had an issue with the external display, as well as an issue with the WLAN setup. However, both issues seem to come from regres^Wfunctionality changes in the upstream software, so Debian can be excused. OTOH, Debian is to blame for the fact that this really bad upgrade problem still happened over two months later; I hope they fix it before the release.
