What? Are you calling backing up everything on your 10Gig hard
disk, formatting all partitions and installing a whole new
distribution, then spending 3 months reconfiguring everything
back to the state it was in before starting - impossible? It's
actually quite easy, it just takes 3 months. ;o)

Thats opposed to the 30 minutes or so it takes to upgrade a
RedHat system.
