Upgrade advice

2000-07-05 Thread Guðmundur Erlingsson
Hi there, I've put slink on my laptop and it's been sweet so far. I'd like to upgrade it to a newer version, with newer kernel, but I'm not sure which is best. Should I go for frozen or would Woody be safe? The thing is, I'd like to try out Helix Gnome, and have to have Woody installed to be able
