I upgraded my (non critical) work station (p3/1ghz, 512mb, i815 board) yesterday
using apt-get. Had no problems getting it back up (even with a 2.6 kernel), but
the X/Gnome fonts seem a bit "off" to me. (read about this in an earlier thread
on this mailing list). Have to play with it a bit more to see what's broken ;)
