Thanks, Lisi. I was coming to that conclusion, too, but I was looking
for any sort of confirmation that I wasn't guaranteed to brick the
machine.
I'll report back, assuming that the results of t

I thought I had seen that apt could do that. Thanks.
I updated one laptop a month or two ago using the process on
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html,
and it worked smoothly. Then I tried the same thing yesterday on a
second laptop, except that I forgot to get rid of a wheezy backports
entry; instead, I ju

Then I booted Debian. This time it wo

certainly don't recall seeing any after a freeze.

I'm running an up-to-date Debian Squeeze 64-bit on a laptop. It's usually
been stable, as I might expect from Debian Stable. From time to time,
though, it freezes at seemingly random times. I notice it mostly when I'm
typing and the keyboard stops responding, but I'm not sure it always

This is essentially a duplicate of a posting to the Evolution mailiing
list an hour or two ago. After posting there, I saw that they
considered the Squeeze version of Evolution obsolete and recommended
asking on one's distro mailing list.
