[Discuss] Debian Question

[Kent Borg]

Thanks to CHRISTOP-PERRAULT at comcast.net, dsr at randomstring.org, and 
richard.pieri at gmail.com. VERY valuable answers.

But I'm holding off on implementing any of that, for the moment, until I 
better understand what packages get updated when. Don't want to 
block/freeze that wrong stuff.

But I have updated my notes for when I am ready.


Thanks again,
