You hear about the problems. It's when things go wrong that people ask for help. If things go right, they don't need help! Bear in mind that Jessie is not yet Stable, and there are therefore still problems of various kinds, including in upgrade. These will be significantly reduced in number before Jessie becomes Stable and upgrading is encouraged officially!! > Clearly , it is too! > The rolling release forbids this bad thing ! > Can you list what the PCLinux bit you ????? I‘m curious about it! > mudongliang There was suddenly an enormous number of updates and the whole thing crashed beyond rescue, and as far as I could see beyond control. Give me Debian's controlled updates - using code names, of course. If you use the names testing and stable in your sources.list, Debian can bite you in the same way. If you are using code names, you have the option of not upgrading at all! Some people are still on Lenny - though I haven't heard of Etch recently. Many people prefer to wipe the slate clean. They back up, back-up the back-ups, and reinstall. In an ideal world, they install on a new partition or hard drive and retain the old, working installation until the new one is set up and working. But I'm not sure how many actually can, or do, do that. Lisi Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
