| However, | - may I know what happened during the slink-potato switch period?
I had a slink box that upgraded to potato just fine. | - was there a sufficient grace period before slink was deleted | from the mirrors? IIRC, potato will be moved to archive.debian.org and remain there like other old releases. | - may I know where to get information about potato to woody switch | plan? what will happen on "May 1st" ? There should be an announcement from the debian-announce list, it will most assuredly be in the debian weekly news, and posted prominently on the main web site. | - what is better: to use "potato" or "stable" in the production | systems' sources.list? If you use stable, you will automagically be brought up to the current release state, if you use potato, you will probably error out when potato is moved to the archive. | - is there a way to keep/ save all configuration files, and then | installing woody from scratch (which is faster)? Instead of reinstalling (ala red hat), just to an 'apt-get update' and an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' and move up your packages like before.
