So the initial install in Fall of 2006 was via a Debian

instead. I then later upgraded Dapper to Feisty (which required an
intermediate upgrade to Edgy IIRC). Now I'm running Gutsy. And it
just...works.
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?
You should always go in stages (Dapper->Edgy->Feisty->Gutsy). However,
by that time you've done all that downloading and installing, it's
probably quicker to just backup your data; re-format; install Gutsy;
restore data. And you'll have a cleaner system, with much less chance of
odd cruft lurking in some corner to bite you when your back is turned ...
