I had to search for "Forky" to see what it is. I don't usually look ahead at Debian release names--looks like you're an adventurous Debian user! I long ago stopped staying on the bleeding edge. I much prefer to upgrade no earlier than about six months after a new release. But, time flies faster the older one gets.

I was born in Middle Georgia: Sandersville in Washington County. But my mom and dad were from the tiny towns of McIntyre , Georgia, and Oconee, Georgia, respectively. And we've passed through Talking Rock at some time. Google Maps says population of 20! Now that's tiny! Enough blabbering, thanks! -Tom
