I would like to use your misfortune to make a point, if I may:

*If it ain't broke, don't fix it!*

I am all for trying out every distro under the sun, upgrading to
bleeding edge versions of every piece of software, etc. That is how
you learn Unix.

But I would advise doing that on a beater box that you don't need for
your day to day stuff, lest you become very frustrated that upgrading
breaks everything.
