Big YUP for all of you regarding MS office.

^ I never really use keynotes / powerpoint since revealjs (and thank god org-reveal) is a lot better than them anyway. :)
rice no more.

Who needs Powerpoint slides when you can use the standard pdf's.

^ I don't, and I go with reveal.js and org-mode too when I can.

It's the people around me who still use PowerPoint. ;)

Debian 9 aka Stretch will be released just in one week, on the 17th of June.

https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-a ... 00002.html

Be ready to prepare for the upgrade on your machines if you run stable and be aware of a big influx of packages into sid.

A collegue did and is happy with it, unsurprisingly for debian. For me it's time for a clear and burn time...

I will probably stick with Jessie on my main machine for a while. It is LTS until 2020.

^ I'd probably still be using Wheezy except I switched to a different machine that already had Jessie on it. Funny we were all sid users when we started here, now not so much.
