The best approach for long neglect likely is a fresh installation, which
can work wonders in performance. The perspective provided by experience
makes for a better installation. Many facets of an old installation
(partitioning, in particular) should be considered; they may be far from
optimum. And numerous new tools likely have been added to the Debian
repository; a fresh installation encourages an inspection of the
repository.
