I've been using the unofficial back-port of amd64 Sarge (as I guess a
lot of people here were). This is a production server and work relies on
it, so I've been a little bit hesitant about upgrading from an
unsupported version to an official version, just in case.
I've not read much on this list
,
We followed the recommended upgrade procedure in the Debian install
guide, from sarge AMD64 to etch AMD64. Everything worked smoothly. We
were using the kernel from sarge-backports, however.
Our sources.list:

Can you post your sources.list? Did you have to rebuild your nvidia

I actually use

Hi,
Is there something wrong here, or should I risk this upgrade?
Nothing realy wrong here. Just uninstallable and missing packages. The
unofficial etch was never truely functional. It just got worse lately
and with the official archive shaping up we are basicaly past caring.

Hi,
some days ago I had to reinstall my system, and I chose debian sarge to
install on it. Now, I liked to have more recent packages on my machine,
like I had before.
I tried a 'apt-get dist-upgrade' but this wants me to uninstall nearly
my whole gnome and kde stuff... totally over 300

Hi All,
I'm taking the plunge and building my first AMD64 system. Which Debian
release would you suggest?
I usually run unstable on my main workstation and stable on servers.
This system will be a home file/print server so stability is important,
but since the AMD64 build is not really official
You must follow the same way in amd64 sarge for servers and for
workstation if you have the courage you could be able to follow sid.
