STARTING A NEW ERA: THE CHANGES AND WHEEZE
With this release, hal and sysvinit has end, the "hard-forced" systemd from win-hat guys are a fact and udev/upower/udisk are the new devices managers.
The wheeze release was only a "transitional release" like sarge does and lenny/etch does!
The UEFI support was added but not as totally free software. UEFI uses a firmware check so has a closed object check at boot. The boot areenabled in 32 and 64 bits archs.
Multiarch is a radical rethinking of the filesystem hierarchy with respect to library and header paths, to make programs and libraries of different hardware architectures easily installable in parallel on the very same system. So with this i386 and x64 can be both packages instalable in same machine. Of couse be prepared to a lot of space consume, its like have a duplication of.
Media installers reduced: yes now all come to the net, only a set of 4 DVD's or 12 CD's are made, the rest of sofware are in the repositories.
Mate, cinnamon are new desktop, in the old-school fashion scene, and now backport are in main as normal repository!
CONCLUSION: THE WINDO-LIKE STUPID ERA BEGIN!
Personally now the linux scenary are like the M$ does, a windo-like systems with huge of complex requeriments and user-oriented stupid things. Minimun requeriments are raised now from 200MHz with 128Ram for a GTK/qt desktop to a minimun of 1GHz with 1GB Ram for decent web browsing!
U are forced to use those if comes for frowsing and use recent hardware and recent stuff need this recent release of jessie! There's no way, other than VenenuX 0.X series or the recent Debian/VenenuX releases.
debian jeesie comes now with mayor desktop environment by default with pulseaudio so installing as "light" its no more
ResponderBorrarswicht to gstreamer its a good solution but resides in a great problem: dconf vs gconf backends to sync the save settings
if you use LXDE no problem but now comes another problem, lxpanel freezes at start so final solution to light users: openbox+fbanel
