If you read through the subject lines of this forum (one of the bussiest forums on this website) you'll find that many people have problems with things that used to work fine from the CD but no longer work after a hard disk install. And upgrading tends to break more things, as the tricky ballance of stable, unstable and experimental parts is broken. Read the forum and see what other have experienced or try it yourself (you can always wipe it out and try Debian later), the choice is up to you.
