The New Debian Distro, “Stretch”
The new distro of the Debian line has launched, and is sure to make linux lovers everywhere.
Debian is reputable for being one of the more stable releases of the Linux architectures. Hence, it’s release cycles are wider apart than say, Ubuntu or a few of the more popular distros you have have heard of.
Speaking of Ubuntu, what’s the difference between the two distros? Here’s a small no nonsense list :
- Debian uses APT for software management (Ubuntu doesn’t, although it can).
- Since Ubuntu releases more frequently, it is always a little more up to date with regards to hardware (this is where that talk of stability comes into play).
Stretch, as the new distribution is called, now comes with five years of support, as opposed to two years with it’s previous versions.
