Hi List!
I run services on sarge in two major parts:
- qmail,clamav,spop3, ssmtp,rblsmtp and
- apache2,mysql 4.1,php4

I'm considering to dist-upgrade from sarge to etch(testing)
I would like to use mysql5 and php5 if it's not a to big deal to change.

My question is:
Can the dist-upgade do it for me or the chaos is waiting for me?
I know mysql would like a full export/import.
Is there anithing else?
Is teher someone with experinece on it?

I can't really comment on the specifics of mysql or php, but my trial 
of etch via an upgrade, and then via a fresh install, was disastrous.  
Besides a prettier gdm, I loathed everything about it, and am now 
happily back with Sarge.  Etch is anally retentive with the 
repositories, it doesn't have Webmin, strange conflicts with the 
kernel image and udev. . . .
Unless you absolutely must have the latest, I'd recommend sticking 
with Sarge.

I have Webmin (1.180-3) in Etch. Udev (0.084-5) and linux-image-2.6.15 
needed apt-get -f install but seem to work fine once installed.

Chris.
