I was just wondering which distro is considered to be the easiest to upgrade (ie 2.0 to 3.0). Thanks!

Debian or Gentoo - piece of cake

Mepis, which is like Deb for n00bs, or so I've heard.

A lot of distros have GUI apps that make it as simple as clicking a few buttons.

In Gentoo 'emerge sync; emerge -Du world' does the job. That's not the way I do it, but it works.

ubuntu (which is debian)

Code:

su && apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

and i personally like crux (not a newbie distro) but easy.

Code:

su && ports -u && prt-get sysup
