securitybreach Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 The Debian project has announced the release of Debian GNU/Linux 8.0, code name "Jessie". The new stable version is the first Debian release to use systemd as the default init software. It offers support for two new architectures, arm64 and ppc64el, while dropping support for the IA-64 and Sparc architectures. Debian Jessie ships with GNOME Shell 3.14 as the default desktop environment and a number of code hardening features have been added to the build process. "After almost 24 months of constant development the Debian project is proud to present its new stable version 8 (code name 'Jessie'), which will be supported for the next 5 years." Jessie can be downloaded in several editions, including a full DVD set, a CD image, a set of live DVD images with popular desktop environments, and a minimal "net-install" image. See the release announcement and release notes for more information. Download: debian-8.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso (3,792MB, SHA512, torrent, pkglist). Quick links to the live DVD images (SHA512): debian-live-8.0.0-amd64-cinnamon-desktop.iso (1,088MB, torrent), debian-live-8.0.0-amd64-gnome-desktop.iso (1,315MB, torrent), debian-live-8.0.0-amd64-kde-desktop.iso (1,206MB, torrent, debian-live-8.0.0-amd64-lxde-desktop.iso (950MB,torrent), debian-live-8.0.0-amd64-mate-desktop.iso (961MB, torrent), debian-live-8.0.0-amd64-xfce-desktop.iso(942MB, torrent). http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=08914 I changed the spacing for better readability 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 I just installed it in Vbox using the graphical installer. Not too shabby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

securitybreach Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 BTW the sysvinit init system is still available in Jessie if you wish to not use systemd. I think it is kind of funny considering the uproar and forking that was done because of the choice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Fork it. That's what I say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
