I have debian 3 on DVD and if it were not for the significant backup task associated with a clean install I would be installing it now.
You'd thank yourself later. Say, when RH 10 comes out ;)
If you have broadband, I find net storage very convenient for holding essentials during an upgrade.
I live on the North norfolk coast so it will be some time before broadband gets here.
And if you're like me, you might be
surprised how little data a few thousand hours of typing accumulates to.
You are absolutely right. All I normaly back up are docs, code and email. However I have quite a lot of data sheets in pdf fornat that take up lots of space and a whole bunch of original mp3 files. I think I'll pop the pdf/mp3 on CD and the rest on zip as normal then install Debian.
Now, should I install stable, testing or unstable?
