I'd hate to be thought to imply that I have /no/ troubles in my
upgrades. Far from it!  I don't, however, have insurmountable problems
and seemingly no more (maybe less) than with a new installation since
I have possibly already remedied some in previous upgrades.

And I only have my one computer (older kit, too.  around 6-7 years) with
its two hard drives, each with a current(ish) installation.  I do sync
the /home partitions on them from time to time.  This is what is known
in my mind as, "backup."  Really important stuff gets burnt to CD ever
so often.. if I remember.

Oh, the list...
Um, it runs to 2374 lines.  Do you know how I can get only the
installed programs /not/ part of the normal installation?  They seem 
to be what I mainly use.  

To get my current list I:
dpkg --get-selections > /home/cybe/installed-software.log
(command stolen from somewhere in the 'cloud')
