IMO Debian has, far and away, the best upgrade mechanism available - at one point I had upgraded seemlessly (all while "online" I might add) an installation whose initial install dated back 3 major versions!
In this case point your sources.list file to suse 93 and perform an 'apt dist-upgrade'. More about it at http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm, but be warned you will be one of 1st to perform the upgrade to 93 this way.
I've done upgrades like that - they work great, except for the YOU
problem still thinking it's 9.2 (different machine).
If that could be solved, I think upgrades via apt would ROCK. I don't
understand what can't be taken care of at rpm installation time that
/is/ taken care of by installing from the media. If I knew what it was,
I could take care of it myself. Honestly, I'd really like to know, even
if it's not a technically feasible thing to accomplish, I'd like to know
what, exactly, is done at install time /other/ than installing RPMs.
