arenamopa.blogg.se - Debian latest version

Debian 9 was named "Stretch", after the toy rubber octopus in Toy Story 3. Debian 10 was named "Buster", after Andy's pet dachshund in the Toy Story series. The codenames of Debian releases are names of characters from the Toy Story films. This branch can be installed through a system upgrade from Testing. Debian does not provide Sid installation discs. This branch is usually run by software developers who participate in a project and need the latest libraries available, and by those who prefer bleeding-edge software. Packages are accepted without checking the distribution as a whole.

Unstable, always codenamed "Sid", is the trunk.

This branch is updated continually until it is frozen. It contains newer packages than Stable but older than Unstable. The packages included in this branch have had some testing in Unstable but they may not be fit for release yet.

Testing is the preview branch that will eventually become the next major release.

This branch has an optional backports service that provides more recent versions of some software. It is updated only if major security or usability fixes are incorporated. Stable is made by freezing Testing for a few months where bugs are fixed and packages with too many bugs are removed then the resulting system is released as Stable.

Stable is the current release and targets stable and well-tested software needs.

The default for version 8 was also temporarily changed to Xfce in November of 2013, but was restored to GNOME in September 2014. The default desktop environment of version 7 was temporarily changed to Xfce, as GNOME did not fit within the limits of a CD. Other window managers, such as IceWM, Awesome, Enlightenment, Openbox, Fluxbox, and others are also available as packages. The latest release of Debian, 10.0, uses systemd as the default init system.ĭebian offers ISO images specifically built for GNOME (the default), KDE, Xfce, LXDE, LXQt, MATE and Cinnamon. Debian ships with LibreOffice, Firefox ESR, VLC, GIMP, Evince, and more. Officially, Debian only contains free software, but non-free software can be downloaded from the repositories. Debian has access to online repositories containing more than 50,000 packages.
