Hello, Well, there might be something wrong here, but this is what i get: ######################## $ apt-get dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Calculating Upgrade... Done 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. ######################## so, still no luck. But thanks for the try! Roberto. PS: I am still not on the list, so I ask you to CC any answers to me too, thanks.
