I ran dist-upgrade on my Dell Latitude C610 laptop.  I was able to continue
working in GNOME til I got tired and went to sleep.  Woke up, rebooted, and
found the following issues:

<>Wifi broken (Broadcom 4318 driver) - used desktop to find info on Ubuntu
wiki - 3 or 4 commands later, and I was back in action - had to remove
Wifi-Radar and basically unload/reload NDISWrapper.

<> GNOMESword updated but broken - haven't had time yet to see about fixing
it

<> OpenOffice.org uninstalled completely, minus some resource files -
re-installed with no apparent problem

<> I finally got around to resolving my Synaptics Touchpad problem - or at
least that seems to be the case for now.  It was like this under Breezy, but
I just went ahead and jumped on it while I was fiddling anyway.

Those are the only issues I've seen so far.  Carla Schroder wrote up some
problems pertaining to printing on her O'Reilly blog:

Hope this doesn't make you too nervous.
