Based on the recently released Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 “Jessie” operating system and powered by a kernel from the long-term supported Linux 3.16 series, Robolinux 8.6 LTS “Raptor” is now available for download as a drop-in replacement for the previous update, namely Robolinux 8.5 LTS, which made the OS’ installer free for all users. It is available in the usual flavors, with the Cinnamon, MATE, Xfce, and LXDE desktop environments, and includes more than 275 important security and software updates imported from upstream. The most popular applications included in Robolinux 8.6 LTS are Mozilla Firefox 49.0, Mozilla Thunderbird 45.3.0, and Tor Browser 6.0.5.
