if there's one thing i've EVER learned from a DEB-based distro, it's always upgrade in tiny baby steps.

heed my words, lest you encounter dependency hell!

(it is dark. you are likely to be eaten by a grue!)

but this makes sense. do it a release at a time, take it slow and stable.

if it was gentoo on the other hand, you could just upgrade all at once with a couple revdep-rebuilds. granted, it can take a long time if a lot of the software's been updated to new versions since you last did it (and since portage by default recompiles everything), but you're far less likely to encounter dependency hell.

I'm running Dapper at home and it is getting... old.  I am running Gutsy at
work and it was stable at Tribe 4 (pre-beta).

I know I have to upgrade to edgy before feisty, etc., but if I upgrade
Dapper -> Edgy, can I then upgrade Edgy -> Gutsy, or do I have to Dapper ->
Edgy -> Feisty -> Gutsy?
