I'm 0.5 for three with upgrading Dapper to Edgy. Two of them failed
so completely that I had to wipe, install, and restore backups. The
third one is broken in small ways*, but it boots, and I haven't had
time to reinstall.
See that surprises me. I have one system that went from 5.10, to 6.06,
and last week to 6.10 with only a few problems. I had binary video
drivers installed on 5.10 and the machine wasn't happy with the upgrade
(had to boot into safe mode and switch back to the nv driver). After
that I learned my lesson. Revert to the default driver(s) before
upgrading. Other than that, and having to reinstall a couple of
packages, everything seems to work. It took a while (hours) to download
all the packages, but it did work. Now this is on my kids desktop
machine, so maybe it was simpler that most, but it did work.
