Since you are asking on this list, do you mean upgrading to *devuan*
jessie? That's just what I did on my AMD-64 Debian wheezy server only
a few weeks ago.

Mind you, I did not have kde or gnome installed, and after the upgrade
I no longer had the gdm display and login manager, but logging in to a
text terminal and then typeing 'startx' works just fine.
