Debian 10: Debian is one of my favorites distributions, and it's the operating system I use on a daily basis on many computers.
Debian is a free GNU / Linux operating system that provides more than 51000 program packages, compiled and ready for installation and use on your machine.
It is a result of the Debian Project, and is one of most popular Linux distributions.
Few about History
Debian as a project was started on August 16, 1993 by Ian Murdock, then a student at Purdue University. Then he wrote the Debian Manifesto which called for the creation of a linux distribution that would be developed in an open manner in the spirit of GNU/Linux. Ian Murdock chose the name of the distribution by combining the name of his then-girlfriend Debra with his own (Ian).
Let's say Ian's operating system is based on very large and popular distributions like Ubuntu and Linux Mint. You can add to them almost other 130 Linux distributions.
Below we will see what you can upgrade the fixed version Debian 9 Stretch to the upcoming Debian 10 Buster currently known as testing release.
I should mention here that the testing version of Debian is much more stable than many other "fixed" distributions on DistroWatch lists.
Debian 10 - Let's start:
First we need to update Debian Stretch with all available packages by running the following commands in the terminal:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
Immediately after we have to add the Depos Buster Repository
sed-i 's / stretch / buster / g' /etc/apt/sources.list
With the above command all repos you use automatically change to Buster repos:
See the image of the command below
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
All repos have been automatically upgraded to:
deb http://ftp.gr.debian.org/debian/ main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster / updates main contrib non-free deb http: // ftp. gr.debian.org/debian/ buster-updates main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ sid main
So after creating the sources.list of your system use the apt-get command to see the operating system the new packages:
apt-get update
Let's now turn the system into a Debian Buster
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
That was it, enjoy your new system!
