It's my experience that when updating a distro, you get the good and bad every time, When I first updated 2.14R, let me tell you, It wasn't easy.playdayz wrote:Updating in general Just a thought
In my experience updating *any* Linux distro is a mess, no matter Ubuntu, Mandake, even Arch. I avoid updating whenever possible, but when I do it, I am happy if the result works at all and is not totally broken. Of course, we are going to try to do better than that when we have a Lucid 5.2 to update Lucid 5.1.1.
No other window manager would work because they changed the xdg layout and puppy scripts, man I really had to think about that one. Then updating GlibC was a first for just about any distro, Then to update the gtk backend so that newer browser would work was a very large effort since doing this all was in a directory structure and not by packages, you basically had to visualize it before doing it and crossing your fingers.
I look at it this way, Linux is fun, The more you get involved with it, The more you learn about it.
