Debian Project announced today the availability of the eighth version of the Debian GNU / Linux 9 "Stretch" operating system.
Just a month after release of Debian GNU / Linux version 9.7, Debian released version 9.8 which contains over 180 security updates and bug fixes.
According to the Debian Project “Αυτή η ενημέρωση προσθέτει κυρίως διορθώσεις για θέματα ασφαλείας, μαζί με μερικές προσαρμογές πάνω σε σοβαρά problems. Δεν αποτελεί μια νέα έκδοση του Debian 9 αλλά ενημερώνει μόνο μερικά από τα πακέτα που περιλαμβάνονται. Δεν υπάρχει λόγος να πετάξετε το παλιό stretch. Μετά την installation, packages can be upgraded to current versions using an updated Debian repository”.
As mentioned earlier, version 9.8 is packed with updates. It consists of 90 updates that add significant fixes to various packages, as well as 96 security updates. In total, there are 186 updates included in Debian GNU / Linux 9.8, which also remove 23 redundant packages.
Debian GNU / Linux 9.8 “Stretch” is now available available. Users don't have to λήψη of the new ISO images to update their OS. Just run the command “sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get full-upgrade” in a terminal to install all the updates included in this release.
