That is called Debian Sid.



And in a mildly tamed version, Sidux.

Yeah, that one busted my chops, too. But I was running virtual, and had
a snapshot to fall back on.
In all fairness, though, that was the first "Kablooey" I experienced in
the half year or so I've been playing with it.

I have not used preupgrade but historically the result of upgrading has
not been very satisfactory. Many posts on fedora-list have made this
clear. And of course there is a limited time before upgrading is no
longer supported.

I have used preupgrade and it worked.

But preupgrade wasn't what Armin recommended or talked about.

My first wife was Greek. Never get into a property settlement with a
Greek gal. They'll cut your heart out and leave you bleeding in the
street for dead, after kicking you in the head for good measure. <grins>
