Shouldn't be a problem. However, usual caveats apply, and I've only done this with PCs and laptops. My usual way of doing this is to first do a full upgrade, then change the name (and yes, this time I simply swapped in jessie), do an update, then a dist-upgrade. You 'can' do it via synaptic, but in the past I've had problems where gui stuff that synaptic is using gets changed! :( -- W J G
