Mike,              On 17 Aug 19 19:41, you wrote to ALL:               MP> A few weeks back I tried upgrading an old Pentium-3 800 machine that I        MP> use as a server from debian 9 to 10 "Buster."

At       least one reviewer remarked that it would probably be fine in 512Mb. My VM is       allowed a 1Gb but rarely exceeds 300Mb in a Htop reporter. It's running my       main Fidonet node: 2x binkD tasks, FMail/lnx beta tosser, SAMBA etc. With a       real GUI if you want it. :)              Cheers,       Paul.              ... Today is merely the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.       --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20130515        * Origin: Quinn's Rock - Live from Paul's Xubuntu desktop!
