          <note>
            <simpara>When moving to a new release etc, you should consider to perform a clean installation of new system even though Debian is upgradable as described below.  This provides you a chance to remove garbages collected and exposes you to the best combination of latest packages.  Of course, you should make a full backup of system to a safe place (see <xref linkend="_backup_and_recovery"/>) before doing this. I recommend to make a dual boot configuration using different partition to have the smoothest transition.</simpara>
          </note>
-         <simpara>You can perform system wide upgrade to a newer release by changing contents of the "<literal>/etc/apt/sources.list</literal>" file pointing to a new release and running the "<literal>aptitude update; aptitude full-upgrade</literal>" command.</simpara>

          <simpara>In reality, you may face some complications due to some package transition issues, mostly due to package dependencies.  The larger the difference of the upgrade, the more likely you face larger troubles.  For the transition from the old <literal>stable</literal> to the new <literal>stable</literal> after its release, you can read its new <ulink url="http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/releasenotes">Release Notes</ulink> and follow the exact procedure described in it to minimize troubles.</simpara>

-         <simpara>Although these low level networking programs are powerful, they are cumbersome to use.  So high level network configuration systems have been created.</simpara>
-         <simpara>The <literal>ifupdown</literal> package is the de facto standard for such high level network configuration system on Debian.  It enables you to bring up network simply by doing , e.g., "<literal>ifup eth0</literal>".  Its configuration file is the "<literal>/etc/network/interfaces</literal>" file and its typical contents are the following.</simpara>
-         <screen>auto lo
- iface lo inet loopback
- auto eth0
- iface eth0 inet dhcp</screen>
-         <simpara>The <literal>resolvconf</literal> package was created to supplement <literal>ifupdown</literal> system to support smooth reconfiguration of network address resolution by automating rewrite of resolver configuration file "<literal>/etc/resolv.conf</literal>".  Now, most Debian network configuration packages are modified to use <literal>resolvconf</literal> package (see "<literal>/usr/share/doc/resolvconf/README.Debian</literal>").</simpara>
-         <simpara>Helper scripts to the <literal>ifupdown</literal> package such as <literal>ifplugd</literal>, <literal>guessnet</literal>, <literal>ifscheme</literal>, etc. are created to automate dynamic configuration of network environment such as one for mobile PC on wired LAN.  These are relatively difficult to use but play well with existing <literal>ifupdown</literal> system.</simpara>
-         <simpara>Alternative high level network configuration systems, independent of <literal>ifupdown</literal> system, such as <literal>network-manager</literal>, <literal>wicd</literal>, etc. are created to ease configuration of network environment even for mobile PC on wireless network.  Since these are relatively new system and their integration to Debian system is in progress, you may still need to disable the corresponding network interface configuration manually in "<literal>/etc/network/interfaces</literal>" to avoid conflicts between these and <literal>ifupdown</literal> (see <xref linkend="_automatic_network_configuration"/>).</simpara>
