Yup, seeing as how Brad asked. Same as, I either use the Debian netinst for
office machines or the old, but still effective DeMuDi installer for music
machines. Either way it's a one-time install and I end up with a workable
Debian system. Apt-get really does make upgrading a piece of the proverbial
in most cases. I only ever compile stuff out of choice.
This is why we put up with all the other crap involved with Debian. ;)

We are the people We've been waiting for.
every time there is a new Fedora Core, I usually
get around to moving to
the next version. However, for me, it's a bit of a pain to do because
you really have to wipe the disc and start all over.. ."upgrading"
Fedora doesn't really work well. At least for me it doesn't.
Don't you find this a bit irritating? I do. It's not hard, it just seems
unnecessary.
Are other distros better at upgrading but also provide all of the nice
features that Fedora does? (there are a lot of audio apps available in
rpm for Fedora. I just can't spend my time compiling each and every one
when updates come along.)
What do others do?
When I get a new computer, I install Debian.
Once.
