Latest Update: Debian 9.7 was released January 23rd, 2019. (The seventh point release, 9.7). Support for 64 and 32 bit PCs. Stretch includes over 15346 new packages. Improvements include* LibreOffice is upgraded to version 5.2;* Calligra is upgraded to 2.9. * Evolution 3.22. * MariaDB is now the default MySQL version 10.1.* Xorg no longer requires root! === Networking Change in Stretch ===Instead of eth0, eth1, etc the twits changed it to use the firmware/BIOS provided index numbers and PCI card slot numbers, producing names like ens0 or enp1s1 (ethernet) or wlp3s0 (wlan). Note that upgrades of jessie systems won't change the old interface names!Supporting legacy ciphers for backwards compatibility is necessary to connect with SecureCRT. Jesse=== Remote Connection ===Install sshd to allow remote secure shell connection to the terminal. Once installed and running sshd will allow you to remote connect. The SSH server can be selected for install during the installation of the operating system, or it can be added afterwards using the command "apt install openssh-server" at the command line. The latest Debian "Jessie" distribution uses '''version 6.7p1-1 of OpenSSH''' which has been released with legacy "insecure" ciphers disabled by default. If trying to use an old secure terminal software you might find that the cipher is no longer permitted. You can [[Enable Legacy Cipher in Linux for SecureCRT]] but be advised that this will put the security of your machine at risk. For an internal LAN server it is not a big deal, but enabling insecure ciphers on an Internet attached machine is not advised. == Customization ===== terminal and shell login messages ===I want to disable the notification about new mail when I login to a shell: To do this for all system users simply modify /etc/pam.d/sshd vi /etc/pam.d/sshdModify this section to look like this # Print the status of the user's mailbox upon successful login. #session optional pam_mail.so standard noenv # [1] session optional nopen noenvI remarked out the default line with a POUND # character and below added a custom line telling it not to check for new mail messages on login. Another option to do it on a per-user basis is to use the .bashrc file (for login shell) or .bash_profile and add unset MAILCHECKOne option or the other works, you won't need to do both. See our notes on [[Linux_Remote_Shell_Notes#login_and_non-login_shell|the difference between a login and non-login shell]].
