Hi.
We had a bit of a talk about new software in old distros recently and that's 
related. I agree that upgrading is not easy. I still have not had the nerve 
to go from Dapper to Edgy. IMHO it's erase and install because it's just too 
hard to seek and destroy all the little things that don't work.

So, because Dapper is working fine and my software is still not too stale... I 
will stay here for as long as I can. If something I need like Inkscape 
suddenly leaves me behind, then I'll "wipeGrade" up to a new Kubu.
:D
