PostX Gnu/Linux 0.8 will be coming in October. It will be based on Debian 11. Starting from 0.8 the plan is to make more regular releases and enhance the upgrade schedule. This means that release building will be more scripted and automated than before.
This guide is for upgrading the PostX Gnu/Linux to 0.7 version. As of 3rd of January 2021 Debian Buster is having some issues with grub-efi and grub.cfg generation. This leads to failures when generating new images. Given the previous, the more manual way of upgrading PostX Gnu/Linux was chosen at this time.
Notices:
To begin get PostX Gnu/Linux 0.6 and install it.

When that is done then proceed with the instructions below. Remember that you do everything with your own responsibility and if things get broken it is your responsibility to fix them. Always backup anything important before proceeding.
Disclaimer: Upgrade changes system structure. Make sure you copy all important configs and customizations before proceeding. If something goes wrong it is user’s responsibility to fix the issues and deal with possible damages.
Notable changes, excluding version upgrades:
– Text editor will change from Metapad to ++Editor.
– ImageViewer is added.
– Quick Terminal is back as primary terminal.
After upgrade, the Openbox menu will be out of date, since programs have changed. See, step 4.
