Debian: Practicalities and the big picture
Apart from having possible ideological repercussions, the recent “editorial” amendment to the Debian Social Contract might also push back Debian’s next major release (sarge).
Debian unstable upgrades, always an interesting pastime!
I did a lazy/huge Debian unstable upgrade on my second-best home PC today (from fsn.hu rsync’d DVD images, via jigdo); took me about 3 hours to pull off in a gradual procedure, as even I am not that nuts to just apt-get dist-upgrade while I goof off somewhere else! My PC managed once more to survive the process relatively unscathed, although predictably the ATI driver -> X-Server -> Gnome chain failed to init, so I have to do some fglrx driver magic again. At least the hard cases are still predictable.
