Safe to apt-get upgrade?

[nowhere@cox.net]

Hey all,

I installed mythbuntu for the first time end of last year coming from years of manual Fedora Core installs. I remember the agonizing pain of performing an update on the old FC systems. It almost always broke something and usually LIRC. This time around I rebuilt the system with separate front and back ends since a lot of my troubles were due to nvidia drivers and older cards.

What is your experiences doing sudo apt-get upgrade to keep the system up to date? Do you find it often or rarely breaks mythtv?

Also, how stable do the weekly build remain? Good for a production machine? I like to stay on top of the latest features but the thing HAS to keep running.

Thanks!

running three 8,10 Intrepid desktops, one Linux Mint 8.04 version and one Mythbuntu with the 8.10 kernel. NARY a problem with any of them except for the NVidia drivers (a common Ubuntu problem) .. sometimes takes a re-install.

I just did this yesterday. Follow the Ubuntu upgrade manuals on their homepage and it should be easy. Nvidia drivers where a bitch, as 180.22 where not available as packages, so I had to do it from the CLI.
