Debian 10 "Buster" will come with automatic security installations

Debian codenames (Toy Story)

The Debian Project girls and boys have been working hard on the current Debian versions with the releases that have occurred in the last few days, but they are also working very hard for future improvements. We already know that Debian 10, codenamed «Buster» will bring a system that will automatically install security updates. We have learned this thanks to the developer Cyril Brulebois who has been in charge of making this announcement when the second Alpha Release of the famous Debian GNU / Linux distribution has been made available, which will succeed the current version 9.x.

If you have noticed the new Debian Installer Buster Alpha 2 Release It comes with important changes, such as this addition of the automatic installation of security updates by default, which ensures greater protection for our environment. In addition, we will also see an image for 64-bit MIPS family architectures. And fortunately those are not the only new features implemented in this version of Debian from which all derivative projects such as Ubuntu among many other distros will be nourished ...

Another important change for this second Debian GNU / Linux 10 "Buster" alpha is the addition of the Linux kernel 4.13, a fairly current series with all the drivers for the current hardware you have and all the improvements included in this kernel. In addition, the future Debian Alpha 3rd release that will come not too long ago will bring another kernel even more current from what can be intuited because the version mentioned above reached its end of life last month, with the inclusion of support for Linux 4.14 LTS, the version with extended support as you well know.

And if you think that those are the only ones new arrivals you're wrong, of course all the rest of the packages included in the distro have been updated to more current versions, some changes that affect systemd, etc. On the other hand, Syslinux now supports EXT4 64-bit, and support has been added for some SBC boards such as A20-OLinuxXino LIME2, FriendlyArm Nano Pi M1 Plus, and others from Marvell. No less important is the language support that now rises to no less than 75 different languages ​​...
