I can’t believe it’s been 21 months already, because it feels like yesterday when Debian 3.1 was released. Two days ago, the good people over at Debian HQ announced the official release of Debian 4.0, code-named Etch.

Completely upgrading a live system with a mere aptitude -f --with-recommends dist-upgrade with no interruptions and zero downtime never seizes to amaze me, and you can expect it to work when upgrading from Sarge to Etch.

Don’t forget your back ups when kicking off such a dramatic process. This explains it very well.
