For that particular upgrade you really _do_ need to read the release notes. A lot had to be changed between Wheezy and Jessie because of the change of default init system to systemd. Some of us have upgraded very successfully - but very cautiously. Some of us are waiting for things to settle down a bit. So you are right to be a little cautious. It is possible to upgrade without changing to systemd - we are back to the release notes. I think that people have upgraded very happily to Jessie from Wheezy both with and without changing to systemd. I have installed Jessie, but have yet to upgrade to it. Though I shall do so in the near future. Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
