I have the impression that Jessie came out recently. Is time speeding up? Meanwhile I’m happy on CentOS 7 since many years now.

Meanwhile I’m happy on CentOS 7 since many years now.
- icebraining 9y agoJessie was released in April 2015 - Debian Stable releases are usually two years apart. CentOS 7.0 was released a bit less than a year before it (July 2014). Jessie will still be supported until June 2018 by the official security team, and until 2020 by the Debian LTS project.
- jmiserez 9y ago> Is time speeding up? I ask myself that every day, certainly seems like it getting older ;-) On a more serious note: It’s great that Linux is now sufficiently mature that even a 3 year old release is perfectly adequate and can do pretty much whatever you need. Maybe I’m misremembering here, but it didn’t always used to be like that.
- susam 9y agoDebian 9 Stretch came out recently (June 2017).
- deadbunny 9y agoDebian switched to a more formal 2 year cycle for releases (similar to the Ubuntu LTS releases) from their "when it's ready" cycle they had before.
