The Debian Project announced today Debian GNU/Linux 8.8, the most advanced stable version of the Jessie series, which brings corrections for numerous packages and various of the security flaw discovered and patched since the release of the Debian GNU/Linux 8.7 maintenance update back in mid-January 2017. But if you’re using the Debian GNU/Linux 8 “Jessie” operating system on your personal computers, and you have all these security and package updates installed, there’s no need to worry as you’re probably already running Debian GNU/Linux 8.8.
