A Debian guy once told me that testing Debian "testing" is fun and fruitful. you have nothing to lose (except your data). Jokes aside, I've been using Etch on a production server for a while, and I fealt it has matured enough to upgrade my own server from Sarge. the apt-get dist-upgrade was a breeze, most of the packages upgraded amoothly, a mere 5 complained at the very end and I thought "oh well, no biggy. I like things to be smooth, but it's OK to have 3-5 tiny glitches... Let's see... the old kernel won't stick around because it's incompatible with the new HAL... oh well, I'll have a new kernel installed soon enough, what else? umm, openssh-client cross-owns the same files as "ssh" so it won't install and neither will openssh-server. damn, someone must have forgotten to set the "replaces" section, oh well, it'll be tricky but doable. Oh, the new kernel won't install smoothly? bugger... I'll just upgrade the SSHD and have a look. run aptitude, prepare a transaction to remove ssh and install openssh-server and openssh-client. hit go..." **** BOOM. Power failure. ***** Umm, crap... lucky I ran aptitude in "screen", so the upgrade will finish. let's ssh... umm. try again.... crap. CRAP CRAAAAAAP!!!!!! need to go to bezeqint. by taxi. during Sunday's rush hour. I can't ask them to reboot and pray, because there's no kernel installed on the godam machine :-& bleh. -- The secret password: Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
