Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 updated (r1) via Debian – Latest News

The popular GNU/Linux distribution, Debian, has released its first update to the current stable branch of packages, codenamed “Sarge”. It’s mainly a bunch of security patches, so if you already update from security.debian.org on a regular basis you have probably downloaded and installed the changes by now. I run Debian on a Bytemark Virtual Machine to provide secondary DNS and mail services for some of my domains (including datacircle.org) and I haven’t noticed any updates recently, although I only have a very small number of packages installed so that limits potential changes anyway.

If you’re running Debian Sarge on any of your machines and haven’t updated, now’s the time to check to see if you need any of the patches. Most installations will add security.debian.org to your sources list anyway so you shouldn’t have to do anything other than run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade to download and apply the updates. There is also a list of packages which were accepted or rejected should you be interested in further details.
