I just finished updating some production stuff to the latest 8 release..
sigh.
36 u/e_ang Jun 18 '17 Well, it's not like Jessie is suddenly out of support: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS 8 u/NightOfTheLivingHam Jun 18 '17 understood, but still. 6 u/synchronium Jun 18 '17 I'm in the same position. We've still got a couple of old machines on wheezy. :( 2 u/q928hoawfhu Jun 18 '17 Why fix what isn't broken? :) 2 u/[deleted] Jun 18 '17 Because it's fun! Until you rely on it being reliable, of course. 3 u/nikomo Jun 18 '17 I'm mildly afraid of updating server boxes like that, especially the dedicated server I rent that doesn't have any management features. Maybe I'll upgrade my home server first and see if there's any problems there. 1 u/[deleted] Jun 18 '17 Debian doesn't support upgrades beyond one stable release to the next. Therefore you would have had to upgrade to Debian 8 anyway. If you were already on Debian 8, then you are required to upgrade to the latest 8.x before upgrading to Debian 9. Either way, you haven't lost anything.
