Thanks Bob,
Hit a snag, I thought the upgrade would update the kernel and it's left me
with a mismatch. I can't now log into the machine, no ssh and no keyboard.
I think I'm going to try and use a netinst disk to rescue the system,
unless you've any other ideas? I remember in Linux a long time ago

What's that in aid of? Just do:
aptitude update
aptitude safe-upgrade
aptitude full-upgrade
"Safe-upgrade" will upgrade everything it can without removing anything.
"Full upgrade" will upgrade everything even if some removals are
necessary.

Today I tried upgrading from squeeze to wheezy. I followed the instructions
here:
http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-debian-squeeze-to-wheezy
When I did the dist-upgrade, after it downloaded several hundred files, it
gave me this error message:
E: Could not perform immediate configuration
If you are using squeeze, and it works they way you it to. Then it is best
to leave it as so. I prefer Gnome2 amongst any DE:very stable and
configurable. The hardware I have is capable of running Gnome3, but I need
something that will run on all hardware.
If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Please post on the list, if you prefer so.
Wait for Mate 1.2.3 because there is a bug with a library that blocks
partially the upgrades on Wheezy, at the moment I am on Wheezy with
Mate 1.2.0 and I've read that it the bug is fixed on 1.2.3 version.
After that it should be smooth and easy. Anyway

"At all costs"? Whether such possibility exists, the price will be very
