Debian 2.0



	A get a mixed bag from this.... a lot of people say Debian 2.0 is stable
and fine to upgrade from 1.3.  Then.. there are people who say that Debian 2.0
breaks applications.  I am willing to upgrade again... but these are my
concerns.

last time i did it.. all went well. but X was killed.  I do NOT think i upgrade
the X package to get glibc2 X libs.  Is this the cause?  And... after upgrading
libs, I can just run the Accelerated X binary and I should be ok?  (somewhat
answered before, but i want to verify, all i do is do minimal installation for
x, right?)

I run Bind (forgot which ver... pretty sure the newest one)

Sendmail 8.8.8....

apache httpd (pretty sure the newest one)

staroffice

file runner

pine and fetchmail

netscape 4.05

xwpe (Windows Programming Environment)

Can anyone see any impending problems with me "upgrading from 1.3R6" to 2.0?  I
think I can fix the X problem... that is the main thing.  Plus.. it would be bad
if any of the apps I mentioned above fail or act oddly in Debian 2.0.  If there
is ANY oddity... please tell me.  I do not want to upgrade if that is the
case... 

Thanks in advance guys, this will save me a lot of trouble!
