...and find it stuck on some silly configuration wizard of some package
asking you to click 'Next', then spend another 50 minutes watching the
upgrade unfold. :)

Still, the answer is of course UPGRADE!!!  That's what Ubuntu (Debian)
was designed to go.

In my opinion the 'fresh' install people just do this based on faux
psychological misconceptions about a new install being somehow 'fresher'
as if it was a vegetable straight off a pristine farm.  Or, MS Windows
experience has clouded their judgement.

In either case:   What rubbish!    

Gimme a U, Gimme a P, gimme a G, gimme an R ... etc.

U-P-G-R-A-D-E!!  

Say it loud, upgrade and be proud.

Thank you.
