Re: Debian 7 Wheezy Stable Relelased

Hi,

What I meant was I wan to upgrade an existing system from Squeeze to Wheezy but replacing Gnome2 with XFCE, which seems a more natural upgrade path. I'd rather not have the grief of trying to remove a load of gnome3 libraries. I think I'll have to install XFCE then remove Gnome2 before the upgrade?

Thanks,
James
