Nice. It has been some years since my last birthday gift.

Stretch has been frozen since october of last year, you can install it RIGHT NOW.
Why do people wait until it's officially moved to stable branch?

>
If you want to celebrate it, please consider attending a Debian release party, or hosting your own! See https://wiki.debian.org/ReleasePartyStretch for more information

Is this a joke?

>>60606043
No, they really are this mental.

What the fuck is wrong with you people

>>60606217
All of those people except Mr. Green Cardigan look pretty sexy. Food and drinks are terrible though.

>>60604972
systemd?

>>60606043
Well, it's not like there's a Debian release every month
It's a momentous occasion

>>60604972
We can except the new testing to be available around a month later, that's it?

>he doesn't use sid

Good news!
Debian master race

>>60606217
Would do the one on the right.

>>60607409
>he uses Debian GNU (GNU's Not Usable) Lonix (loser's UNIX)

>>60606217
>this is how debian users look
arch btfo?

>>60606043
What do people do at debian launch parties?
I don't think anyone would be installing it at the party.

>>60609116
we give each other concrete enemas

If Ubuntu doesn't play nice with my wifi card, then will Debian? I kind of doubt it, but you never know.

>>60609116
Eating, talking and exchanging fingerprints.

>>60606217
They dress conservatively and the girls are pretty cute, what's wrong with this?

>>60609845
Why doesn't it play nice? If it's because the driver is bad, then no. Probably no distro will play nice.

>>60609845
if your freedom hating shit wifi card doesn't work in ubuntu, then it won't work in debian either.

>>60609845
What ubuntu version are you using? Debian stretch will use the latest LTS kernel 4.9. What wifi card are you using?

>>60609881
Yep. Even installed a driver that supposedly works and I still get get frequent and random drops. I'll probably just end up either swapping it out or trying out p a power line adapter, but I'm in an apartment so I dunno how good the wiring is.

>>60606392


Probably.

Waiting for the Devuan release.

>>60609948
Try using the windows descriptor file through ndiswrapper and see if it's works better.

>>60604972
What does this mean for someone using Debian Stable?

>>60609966
I haven't thought of that. I'll look into it. Thanks.

>>60610032
u gon die

>>60610032
Not much. Version updates in debian work almost like normal updates.

I'm sad they're dropping PowerPC as a release architecture, though at least we still have ppc64el

>>60612335
I'm surprised they support all those ancient platforms at all, they probably have no more than 100 installations worldwide across all of them

>>60612361
Still less platforms than NetBSD. The joke that NetBSD will run on anything, even your toaster, isn't too far removed from reality.

>>60605465
It's still testing branch, so late security updates than any other branch.

>>60604972
If I was on Stretch already, does it mean I'm going to be Stable after that day? should I Sid myself if I want more up to date packages or is it too buggy? is it backports a more sane direction?

>>60612519
also wondering this

I spent all afternoon getting used to all the changes in stretch and rewriting configs because there was such a huge jump in package versions this time.
Should I just switch to sid from now on?

>>60605465
Debian testing isn't known for having good security

>>60605465
Because of it unstable branch is also frozen and stuck with old verson of libraries and kernels.

>using racist Ian Murdocks distro

>>60607409
> he doesn't know that sid is frozen alongside testing too.

>>60612519
>>60612543
There is no reason to choose testing over sid.

>>60612519
It depends on how you configured your sources. If you configured it to follow the "stretch" repos then you'll follow stretch over to stable and then to oldstable and eventually it will go unsupported. If you configured your sources to follow "testing" then you'll upgrade to the next code-named testing release.

>>60615745
ahh, I'm testing, thank you!

Dear Init Freedom Lovers,

Once again the Veteran Unix Admins salute you!

Many of you might remember November 2014 when we announced that
we were going to fork Debian. Well, we have done exactly that. It
has been a long process, but now over two years later, we proudly
present Devuan Jessie 1.0.0 Stable.

There have been no significant bug reports since Devuan Jessie
RC2 was announced only three weeks ago and the list of release
critical bugs is now empty. So finally Devuan Jessie Stable is
ready for release! As promised, this will also be a
Long-Term-Support (LTS) release. Our team will participate in
providing patches, security updates, and release upgrades beyond
the planned lifespan of Debian Jessie.

>>60604972
Not upgrading any of my servers until at least 9.2 is released.

>muh init freedom
What a waste of time and resources. systemd is fine and sysadmins love it. When has systemd ever caused a large-scale common problem that can be replicated across large sites?

>>60616482

>systemshitd fine
>anyone loves it

evverx please

>>60604972

malware creators should focus on the init system to undermine its future development

>>60609873
Those are all girls.

>>60605465
>why would anyone want to reunite and socialize with people that share the same passion/hobby as themselves? They're clearly autists
(You).

>>60616587
That's even better

>>60604972
I'm guessing stretch is a project that came with the women can code stuff to symbolise the value of mature women and their 2nd hand vaginas

>>60617102
I think you need to take a break from /g/, or maybe 4chan in general.

>>60617102
You have to be 18 to post here.
