I wonder if it would work across such a wide range of changes?
Give it a shot... apt-get dist-upgrade works pretty well.
Does Debian do SELinux?home@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yes, but in my experience, Fedora has done a better job of integrating it into its distribution. Though, the HOWTO was written by a debian user ( https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=20372&group_id=21266 and https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=21959&group_id=21266). Keep in mind not all filesystems support SELinux. Ext3, and possibly XFS, is your best bet for SE right now.
My question was to point out that using yum or apt would still leave problems on an upgrade. Phil Schaffner gave the best response that there will be issues with any upgrade. With all the changes, an upgrade may not be the best path and could take the most time.
I would love the upgrade path to be easy and painless from one version to another but it isn't and I have run into it from RH8 to FC1 as well as others around work in FC1 to FC3. It took me almost a year to get some of the little headaches cleared up on my machine after an upgrade.
