Is this a feasible ambition given a) my technical > ability (or lack of it!!) and b) the existence of you lot? I am testing TDE 3.5.14 (nightly builds) with Wheezy. My new Thinkpad laptop install, 64 bitness, is working fine, I do not use it much at the moment. I have a i386 virtual box instance that has issues with apps crashing on exit. Not sure why the difference in the two installs. A new computer might require the newer kernel in Wheezy. Check the hardware compatibility. > > If so, should I, in your estimation, go for a 3.5.14 daily build or stick > to 3.5.13.1? Or would it be more sensible to stick to Squeeze? My main workstation is Squeeze, TDE 3.5.13.1, it is stable and does everything I need. There is no compelling reason for me to upgrade, that has not stopped me in the past, but I am hoping to resist the temptation once Wheezy is released. I have becme a big proponent of long term releases for my business use. I also use Apache Open Office instead of Libre office, and TDE in stead of ?. This makes for less dependance on Debian, which is unfortunate, since I like the way Debian just works as a system, more work for me. Hopefully your new computer will have hardware virtualization support in the cpu. Along with more memory you can run multiple instances of whatever systems you need. -- Peace, Greg
