I tried a dist-upgrade from Ubuntu 6.06 to 6.10 with disastrous  
results yesterday (quite unusual for a Debian-based distro).  They  
recommend using the graphical upgrade tools, but I wanted to do it on  
a ssh session from my computer in the house where it is a bit warmer   
I'm downloading a CD imagewith bittorrent  right now and will install  
it later today.  I'll report back on Xastir as soon as I get to that  
point.  I'm getting too old for this $%#@*.
