My goal is to *use* Debian, so I want stability.


I tried "apt-get dist-upgrade" in the past, and found it to be an 
exercise in frustration.  Even if it "worked", I typically ran into 
problems afterwards.


Only a backup, fresh system drive, fresh install, and restore cycle 
gives me the confidence I desire.
