Greetings all; New stretch install about 2 weeks ago, cleaning up the remains. Fresh disk, so no leftovers. But lots of stuff has been copied over from the wheezy disk since I have spamassassin enabled in my rc5.d, and I start heyu engine and heyu monitor in my rc.local for several years ,

Feasibility of running mmdebstrap under Stretch (not Buster)

I was investigating using multistrap, but it has been orphaned. mmdebstrap apparently has the desired features of multistrap but is available only in Buster. I do not have the available bandwidth to install Buster. In Stretch perl is 5.24.1-3+deb9u5 but is 5.28.1-6 in Buster. Is it feasible

Hi On my netbook,  Thunderbird seems really unstable, it stars up fine then seems to stall and fails to respond,  it eventually picks up.  I usually goto a terminal and type killall thunderbird. I can usually also minimise thunderbird, but maximising it, ends up with the top of the application
