so i was hoping to find a repo/distro that lets me simply change the server addresses in /etc/apt/sources.list and upgrade like always. i very much *do not* want to do a clean install. i guess i should have mentioned that.
doesn't matter if you upgrade or install, make a backup or use USB disk or another partition or similar. Usually Debian (must apply to Ubuntu as well) recommends to upgrade to next version only - skipping version can have unpredicted results.
