Expect I will be asking for lots of Debian help, having never really used it much (and being a bit of a Slacker

).

Is upgrading from potato to sid or woody as simple as changing the relavant source locations & running an "apt-get dist-upgrade" or something similar (can't remember exact command)? If so then that is very

& loads easier than compiling everything from source if you have a good internet conection.

I really wish RedHat would sort out the dependency issues associated with the RPM system.

Regards

Eddy
