For the 3.0 release that's probably tru, though it's now using anaconda, 
so if /home is on a seperate partition (as it should be) then all you 
really need to do is format the other stuff in the installer and not 
/home.

Failing that, you might be able to cajole apt into do the upgrade, at 
least as far as getting a newer version of rpm + dependancies installed 
and then let yum handle the rest.

Err.. 3.0 should be on mirror sites soonish now so, hopefullt some brave 
soul will take the plunge.  I have a box to upgrade soon as well, so 
hopefull once the semster ends in a fews weeks I can setup a test box and 
try to document the process.
