Re: Debian accessibility news
Is there a way to upgrade to stretch without having to totally reinstall my entire system? I'm working with Jessie now using the mate desktop
environment. It isn't the testing release. If a total system install is required, I'll probably just stick with what I've got, especially since I've
got my hardware synths working on it.
Thanks.
