Really Mint ? I switched FROM Mint TO Arch because upgrading Mint ended up in a re-installation of the whole system :-(

Yes, dist-upgrade simply doesn't work anymore because Ubuntu, Mint, and I assume Debian are all making changes between releases that break the upgrades. That, too, is why I switched to Arch Linux.
Nelson, David LMDE is not the usual mint. It is rolling release based on debian testing, so no dist-upgrade stuff. Frankly, I haven't tried it, but I don't think it will break stuff anymore than arch does. All I have heard is praise about it, but I am too engrossed in arch to give it a thought, yet.
