It's headless and has a 'lite' installation, it's not doing very much
that pushes its processing power so should be OK from that point of
view.
 
I can't quite remember why I installed Bullseye rather than Bookworm,
there must have been some sort of reason but now I can't really see
what that might have been! :-)

Thanks, that's just what I wanted.  When I'm next on the boat in
France where the Pi is I will move to Bookworm.  The SD card it's
using at the moment seems a bit flakey anyway so I'll 'archive' that
and use a new one.

There's actually a quite large USB stick plugged into it too that has
quite a lot of spare space so if I get to feel a bit paranoid about
the SD card I can copy all the important bits to the USB stick.  I can
do this remotely using an ssh connection. I don't fancy trying a major
upgrade vi ssh though!
