Laptop is 18 months old I installed the early release Ubuntu. Upgraded to Breezy, upgraded to Dapper. I had problems with the Dapper upgrade only because I went early and suffered some problems. I expected it but chose to do this, this is my main working system. My Debian system at home I have moved hard-disk from P100, to PII to P4. I have never reinstalled. I have had to fiddle with network cards, and getting X to work on new video and I would probably not do the same thing with my next upgrade too much fiddling.
