Hi Greg,
thank you very much for your help. It's highly appreciated.
It's so good to have have some confirmation by such knowledgeable people
like you.
So for now I think I won't have to change anything as I'm currently

Good to know.
I see. So in case I want it I'd have to add "contrib" and "non-free" in
line 7 first.

My question is - whether this change is permanent and will be in the final
release as well, or it's a temporary thing?
If the former, then what'

One paragraph of "Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide"[1] causes me
grief. It is part of "6.3.5. Installing the Base System"[2].
That paragraph states:

Hi Tomas,
thank you so much for your reply.

go in.
Great! That is the most important aspect for me.
I really don't need the latest-and-greatest version of packages. All I

Hi Doc Evans,
thanks a lot for your reply.
That´s great news indeed.
The fact that Debian stable is rock solid is a great asset in itself. So
together with security updates it will surely make for a fine production

Thank you
