Let's look at your options. 2. Buy a nice SSD and a USB-SATA cable. Install stretch on it, keeping to two partitions: / and /home. Copy over /home from your internal disk. When it's all done, swap the internal disk for the SSD. Pros: clean system nice fast SSD partitions the size you want them to be Cons: expensive, relatively slow to do.
If you can afford it, do this. If you have spinning rust in your system now, definitely do this. It avoids all the dist-upgrade issues and the performance improvement is an order of magnitude. -- Carl Fink carl@finknetwork.com Thinking and logic and stuff at Reasonably Literate http://reasonablyliterate.com
