Nice. Potato was when I got started too, but I do not have any continually 
updated systems from that time. I guess if I had kept my potato machines, I'd 
still be running a Pentium Pro P200 with 32M of RAM. Still useful for something
I'm sure :)

The release notes explicitly say not to use aptitude for this. You are right,
it does not work as well.

Nope, I read the release notes and simply did

	(correct sources.list)
	apt-get update
	apt-get upgrade
	apt-get dist-upgrade
	(pending reboot)

That's not going to happen. I'm not even sure aptitude is maintained anymore.
