I had problems with Wheezy, but Jessie is working pretty well. The answer is probably going to depend on your hardware, especially whether you're using the Haswell video stuff or a separate video card. In that former case I'm guessing you'll probably end up with Jessie - but I'd suggest you try it. It shouldn't take long to find out if there's something wrong on one of your units. -F -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
