well, while homer sick, I decided to run debian's upgrade, because there were new security updates that I needed.

I had forgotten that debian had switch ed version since my last update.

so, today, I'm moving from the old stable (sid, i think) to woody, which used to be testing. I had meant to leave this for a weekend long job.

Mid-upgrade, I realised that i had run out of disk space. I think i have things straightened out now, I hope.

Some stuff is still pretty broken, and the upgrade is still on going, but it has disk space to upgrade in, and the important sutff seems to be working.

i thought that the old stable version of debian was potato? (not that it really matters what its called anyways (: )

[curgoth]

Yeah, potato, that's it. Sid is unstable. Or, I guess, Sid is testing now.

They should use a more reliable naming scheme, like something based on monkeys or candy.

That would be eaiser to remember.

but then you couldnt say stuff like "what os is on here? oh, its just a frozen woody" ;)

[curgoth]

Well, sure that's amusing for woody. But it doesn't work for sid or potato.

"Oh, it's just a frozen gorllia" is as funny as "it's just a frozen bonobos monkey"

Well, it is to me, anyway.
