You *can* upgrade from 2.0 to 2.3. You have to install apt-get. Which requires a new version of rpm, which requires... So if you have some time to figure it out, you can get apt-get installed and apt-get dist-upgrade. If youre going that root dl the iso so that you have the rpms right there instead of having to dl them all.  Or buy the new version to support YD. :-) Also note that YDL3 should be out *soon* [before the end of the year].  There have been several posts about upgrading from 2 -> 2.3 on this list that should help.
