allow in-place upgrades between minor point releases using "yum update"
or "yum upgrade" (they follow different rules on how to resolve
obsolete packages). However, moving between major releases is still
recommended via a CD or other non-in-place media, though there are people that
have done it in-place you seriously risk inflicting harm to your system in this
manner.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

to upgrade a system in-place from one O/S release to another via<br>
<br>
apt-get dist-upgrade<br>
<br>
Much nicer than reinstalling the O/S as seems to be (used to be?) the norm with
RPM-based systems <br>
