Likewise, I think you've made a good choice. As Collins already has said, I 
would suggest upgrading to Etch. I'm running it on a server & two PC's (one, 
the AMD64 flavor) and haven't had any problems--it's almost ready for 
release. My only caveat is that I've never done an update-in-place, so I 
can't speak for that. I've always just done a new install into another 
partition and copied my files over. But, that's one of the things that they 
thoroughly test before each release.

Cheers!
