I just tried logging on to Helos. Somehow, I do not have access anymore. It currently runs Ubuntu 18.04, right? Even though there is the newer 20.04 LTS version, 18.04 is still pretty commonly used. Generally, I do not mind upgrading to a newer LTS version. However, ShinyProxy, the middleware deploying CollEc, is yet to be released for Ubuntu 20.04 (https://www.shinyproxy.io/downloads/). I could install the platform-independent JAR file, which might not perform as well as the packages tailored to the 16.04 and 18.04 Ubuntu LTS versions. Though the Debian testing release is usually close to the latest Ubuntu LTS version, I prefer Ubuntu. Debian is prone to compatibility issues. The Ubuntu LTS tends to be better supported, resulting in less errors. Is there a specific reason why you want to upgrade the machine? I am not generally opposed to it. If there is a good reason, we should do it. I am just wary of any adverse effects on CollEc.

I would like to have it at a pretty recent version, like the "testing" version of debian.
