So kinda new to the whole Synatic/apt .deb process.
If I have a functional system and I do an update using synaptic and it breaks something. How good is it at removing and putting things back the way they were?
Or, I have working system, but update says there is a new rt kernel, but it appears to have lower rev numbers than what's currently on the system. If I update and it breaks something can I go back?
Or, I currently have a system with Ubuntu Studio Hardy 64 bit that works great for sound, but, wifi is broken and it is possible that the hardy backports may fix it. But, it appears there are other things in the backport than ust network stuff. If it breaks sound,can I go back? Is there a way to get just the backports that address wifi?
Regards,
