I tried (again) upgrading my 2.1r4 to 2.2r3 today. When I ran
apt-get --fix-broken --show-upgraded dist-upgrade
I was told that "These packages have been kept back", and a list of
about 12 packages, including: login, netstd, passwd, ppp. Most of the
list I didn't really care about too much, b
Okay, I'm now nearly ready to make the switch - a full, functional
backup has been taken.
What I haven't seen anywhere is what happens if one has packages
which are later than what apt-get knows about. For example, I

What is the best way of connecting to the 'net? I don't mean the
mechanicals, which connection type to use, that sort of thing, but
rather which account(s) should do so. Preferably I don't want to
connect as root, but some things (e.g. collecting mail or news) might
