Hi all,

Thank you for your responses. I finallly did it step by step (Squeeze -> Wheezy -> Jessie). I had looked for a "short" way to upgrade from Squeeze to Jessie but it was not a good idea.

Fresh, brand new install after CAREFULLY saving, securing copies of
personal configurations and user home was my kneejerk to this in the
wee middle of last night.....

And still is right this second today....

Knowing *why* this *_CHOICE_* is being sought MIGHT carry the weight
it would take to change that opinion, though...
