How to get to Hoary from Warty:

Some things to try if things go wrong once you've got Hoary working
(long title... feel free to shorten it to something more usable):

FYI Paul: if you do run into problems with Hoary (once you get it
working the first time), don't despair. Chances are it's a problem
that _everyone_ has and will be fixed post-haste by an apt-get
upgrade. If you end up with a non- or poorly-functioning Hoary, first
try restarting X (logout and back in, or, if X has crashed,
ctrl-alt-Delete (back space), if that doesn't clear things up then
restart your computer (sudo reboot from a terminal e.g. ctrl-alt-F1),
and, if you still have problems, use sudo apt-get update and sudo
apt-get upgrade (or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade)

[what's the difference b/t dist-upgrade and just upgrade from
apt-get's point of view?]
