[Wolves] ubuntu and linux upgrades

[Bobby Singh]

Hello,

I have fully upgraded the system, i know you should. 
I was talking about a full dist-upgrade.  In Synaptic
it gives you option of 'smart' or 'default' upgrade
and i have default upgrade.  I just want to know if
its better for clean install?

Cheers

Bob
