Dicey Business is the best podcast Ive ever listened to. Its funny, informative, and most importantly, always makes me want to listen again. Like many podcasts I’ve listened so far, it’s been a tremendous help in my decision to listen to this podcast. It’s funny, informative, and always makes me want to listen again.
The funny part is that I’m a huge die-hard Debian user and I’ve made it my mission to make Debian compatible with our new release. I tried to make the install of Debian compatible with Debian and I’m so impressed. It also made me realize that even though Debian is the only stable release in the new release, I’m very proud to have downloaded it.
Ive definitely noticed that Debian is not necessarily compatible with the latest version of Ubuntu, and I think that makes sense because Debian was designed to be a stable distribution with an enormous amount of functionality. Ubuntu, on the other hand, is more like a preview release that will get a lot of new features and changes. So, I think its kind of funny that people are so eager to upgrade to the newest version of Ubuntu just because it is more current.
Debian has been around for about 12 years, and Ubuntu has been around for about 7. Debian is a stable source-branch, while Ubuntu is a preview release. Debian has been around for a long time, but it has been updated and improved on, and Ubuntu is the newest version of it. The reason for the compatibility problem is the way updates are made.
Ubuntu currently relies on a rather different version of the Debian GNU/Linux Project (and thus its security updates) called unstable. The goal of the Ubuntu security team is to get Ubuntu as stable as possible and to make sure that any security updates, including those from Debian stable, are installed and active on the latest version of Ubuntu, so any users who have been using the latest stable versions of Ubuntu will get security updates as soon as they are available.
While both Ubuntu and Debian depend on the same security updates, the Ubuntu release process is very different than the Debian one. Ubuntu is a rolling release and therefore security updates are only available to the “official” Ubuntu versions for the next six months, whereas Debian is a “stable” release that will get security updates as soon as they become available.
The two are so different that it’s not really clear if one will get security updates first.
That said, the Debian release process is very similar to the Ubuntu release process. There are four basic steps to the process: getting new software into the repositories, updating software and hardware, maintaining software, and getting security updates. Ubuntu’s release process is very similar to Debian’s, and the Ubuntu release process is also similar to the Debian process, but it does have some key differences that we will discuss.
