In my case, I was lucky.  I did a distribution upgrade and met with
minimal problems.

I guess it might be a good idea to downgrade to 6.06 then, as NoOp has
suggested.  I've seen worst distributions out there.  I don't know about

the maintainers were constantly releasing buggy updates.   Ubuntu  is
one of the best distributions I've ever seen.
