It is the first system I've encountered where I *don't* fear updates and actually (well, most of the time anyway) don't get nasty surprises - especially on the stable version (unstable moves a lot and does have surprises, testing moves and has surprises only sometimes - like the upgrade from KDE 3.2 to 3.3 which did mess some things up for a while, i.e. uninstalls 3.2 on one run, and installs 3.3 only during one of the consequent runs). With any RPM-based distro, I've had really nasty stuff happening with upgrades (changing distro version number, not securtiy updates), and let's just not talk about proprietary systems. There I'll grant you the fresh install right away. With Debian, I still keep a separate /home partition, otherwise I'm quite happy with apt. apt-get update; apt-get upgrade normally gives me all I need. Greetings, Eric
