Thanks. I'm more or less happy with my home machine. It was more to get them running at work with the minimum of fuss re hardware problems. I'll give the link a look when I feel the need to upgrade, cheers.

You may know, to get 'wheezy' you don't need to reinstall. You can
upgrade in place, though make sure you have a recovery plan in case it
goes wrong and you need a bit of experience to cope with package
conflicts/removals/issues especially since wheezy isn't the stable
release yet.
Instructions are at:
http://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/mips/release-notes/ch-upgrading.nl.html
The instructions are cautious and include logging of what happens but I
recommend following them. If you do have issues then putting the
appropriate error message into a search engine normally results in a
solution.
Regards,
Mike.
