Can you not do something much like to 'aptitude update && aptitude upgrade" on Ubuntu, no matter what flavor? Case in point - I had a guest box over here for a couple of months, and I installed Ubuntu Edgy on it. After the initial install, configuration, and such, I kept it up to date with the Edgy repository by simply doing that, just like I would have done on Debian Etch/testing on my main machine, although of course, the packages & sources list pointed to Ubuntu and not Debian repositories. Of course, there will be more releases done in the same time frame on Ubuntu compared to pure Debian. So, you risk potential obsolescence sooner if you install (for instance) Edgy add Edgy becomes what Dapper is now. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
