It doesn't take that long to build it all from source, it might be
easier to do some kind of upgrade/update/distupdate of your distro
instead. Can you just change where your apt-get/whatever sources are
pointed at and then upgrade easily. I've done this many times over
many years with mandriva and never had a problem.
