I'm not running Debian yet, but I will most likely be doing so on my gateway/router machine. I run Slackware on the rest of my boxes. Going from 2.2 kernel to 2.4 kernel for myself I found it was much easier to backup what I needed to keep, then go with a fresh install. Reason being was because there were too many dependencies of the major release differences. Opinions may vary, but that is mine.
