bacon, I don't see a real pressing need for a new release if you have better things to do (and I'm sure you do.)
Anorexia dist-upgrades easily (only 100M of upgrade, about the size of an average Arch weekly upgrade) and xorg installs fine.

Thank you pidsley and the bros ;)
I have to wait anyway for Emacspeak jumping versions (!) in Debian before I make a new base, so this is good news.

Completely agree with pidsley and the rest of the merrymen that there is no pressing need for a new release yet (I think July was originally mentioned for the next Anorexia and Adipositas upgrades). Upgrading BBQ partitions continues to go along swimmingly and too busy right now studying to do an install and fart around with it anyways. Just passed my RHCSA qualification and preparing to do RHCE next. Yes I know I am dabbling on the dark side of the force but the pay is excellent compared to being a teacher or retired and I have an opportunity to move to Singapore to work once I finish the RHCE. I've loved Singapore ever since I lived there for a year when I was 10.

I have lacipecsenye on a laptop I don't use much and I just did a dist-upgrade on that and it went without a hitch.

:D Not even bothered with xorg anymore. Same here Dkeg. But I have to say that I did not really have time to play with all the shiny stuff from sid lately.

Drew, you have these because the package "xorg" is a metapackage that pulls in all these drivers for different video cards. You can remove the "xorg" metapackage and then kick those xserver-xorg-video-$UNUSED, or kick xserver-xorg-all and just download the one you need. They don't take up much space (my educated guess is around 3 MB of disk space), so the only reason to get rid of them is when X is getting a version bump and the drivers need to be pulled to the next version little by little -- some of them are updated slower, which in turn brings messages like the one with "kept back".
Wux, did you put Xorg on hold? AFAIK there's no hold on it by default, but who cares about X anyway. If it worky, no changey.
(not even using Linux anymore)

thank you MB. Its working, so I just may not even bother, saving it for a new install. I had put these are on hold from the last xorg debacle. I just let the be as such. Like you say, if it worky, let it be.

I think I put it on hold when it all broke. last year or whenever.
