I'm running sid / experimental so dist-upgrade in my case is almost like throwing away half of the system; And I'm using aptitude safe-upgrade which is good solution. Also frequent ( I'm doing upgrade at least 2 times a day ) upgrades are really sorting out most of inter-release changes that may ( or may not ) happen in Sid. Also packages in Sid or experimental can have unsatisfied dependencies. > Osamu writes: >These are not bad idea but not that essential. > >You have to have a rescue media or another relatively new content >partition which you can use to boot your system after you broke it with >upgrade.
