I understand your pain, Gary. I use Debian since 1997 (and Iris Unix in 1995-1996). I never used windows. I never used other Linux either. Many years I was using sid, regulary using testing, rarely using stable. Now I have to use oldstable, because stretch simply breaks basic things. I do get answers from user list, but no solutions, so I had to downgrade. I am not that far yet to consider another distro, but I will never use stretch. Did you try to downgrade? You can get answers via the user list: debian-u...@lists.debian.org. Ionel
