I've been using Debian for 20 years or so, and I've found there are sometimes problems with upgrades. More importantly, over time I accumulate packages which I don't need and which become cruft. Reinstalling zeroes everything back to only the packages I really want, and I can guarantee that things are now "clean". Paul -- Paul M.
