You really want apt and deb based distros like ubuntu if you want to go this route.

Personally, I never upgrade the OS. I simply install the fresh one, but its fine on my laptop, not for my clients.

Yes, previously I just clone the HD, but thats ok only for new install, not preserving the data/user settings.
I'm willing to go to every clients at first install if needed, but not every year or so for maintenance. I need setup and forget setup :-p
Thanks!
