Yes indeed it's working great. But still take care with apt-get
dist-upgrade. In my case he wants to remove several gnome stuff and
oppenoffice because there is one file from os-works which is not in the
same version as needed for the hoary.

Thsi means, I've to comment out the os-works lines always. And when I
want to update I've to add them. Or I just could do the pinning :-)
