+(yes, that is as old as 2002), was updated to each subsequent release, was
+copied on a new computer (create partitions, copy, reinstall grub in MBR,
+check graphic driver, and it worked), it is now running mandriva 2010.2
+(mageia to come) without being reinstalled since.

+If I understood correctly, that is exactly what the backports should
+provide, new versions of programs when possible (no update of half of the
+core system libraries).
