Hi Richard, I hadn't noticed the version previously. Debian 10 (Buster) left LTS two months ago on 30 June 2024 Debian 11 (Bullseye) entered LTS two weeks ago on 14th August 2024. The final point release of Debian 11 for security transfer to LTS occurred yesterday on 31st August 2024. As you update, you must update via Debian 11 to Debian 12. Debian does not support skipping major releases. Before undertaking any Debian update between major releases, *please* read the release notes. /etc/apt/sources.list entries have changed, amongst others and, of course, Debian now includes support for non-free firmware on install media and as a separate section in the archives. You may also find that newer software handles power issues more effectively though 1GB RAM on the R61 might be a constraint. I assume that you are also still running on the original 120GB HDD. Hope this helps - with every good wish, Andrew Cater (amaca...@debian.org) >
