Hi! I just did an upgrade from 3.5.13.2 to 14.0.0 on my old debian wheezy: # service kde-trinity stop; apt-get update; aptitude dist-upgrade It took ~ 6 hours, but everything went smooth. Just keep in mind to upgrade from a console e.g. <ctrl>+<alt>+<F1> and not from within TDE. All setting were kept and everything works as expected.
