Debian 9 Stretch RC 3 Installer

Debian is the result of Debian Project. It is a popular Linux distribution, with free software developed through the collaboration of volunteers from around the world. It is based on the linux kernel and GNU core tools.

Debian is known for its many choices and capabilities:

The latest stable release has over 29.000 packages software for twelve computer architectures ranging from the ARM architecture, which typically features the IBM s390 embedded systems and host architecture, to the more common x86 and PowerPC architectures found in modern personal computers.

Debian is also known for system package management APT (Advanced Packaging Tool, or in Greek advanced package tool) that it has; specifically, for the strict policies it adopts regarding the quality of its packages and releases, and the open development and control process it adopts.

Debian is backed by donations made through organizations that promote free software and NOT supported by a company, but by Debian Project itself and the Software in the Public Interest.

Debian has 3 different versions:

Stable (Stable) as the latest official release. Issue programs are rarely renewed (except for emergency fixes). After Debian 6.0, new releases are released every two years. When a new version is released, the previous stable version becomes oldstable. The oldstable version is supported up to 1 time after the release of the new stable release.

The Testing version includes all packages (programs) that are not yet considered stable enough and still need checking. This version is not intended for use on servers or any computer that provides critical services. Nevertheless, many users use it because the programs it contains are the most recently.

Unstable or sid (still in development) includes the packages that are under development. This version should be considered very unstable and used by experienced users. If any packet remains in this version for a long time without presenting any particular problems, it is automatically added to the testing version.

There is finally one more version that bears the name experimental (experimental) which is used only to prepare the packages that will be added to the unstable.

It is worth mentioning the release of the new Debian Installer for Stretch that is now in the RC 3 version. I tried a new installation and found it perfect. He went easy and unashamed, so other distributions would call RC3 as a final release. Of course, the Debian Project team intends once again to reach perfection before releasing the final release.

The new Installer for testing Stretch distribution in the RC 3 version was released in April that has passed us and brings a lot of improvements from the previous version.

You can read all the improvements for the 3rd release candidate of the installer on the official announcement page Debian 9 Stretch.

Stretch testing distribution comes with the 4.9 Linux Kernel and I have not experienced any problems at the moment.
