As the Debian announcement says:

It's not the only operating system where the process is slightly more complex than a kernel update. Windows NT updates require the coöperation of other softwares on one's machine. (-:

- weinzierl 9y agoI'm not pointing at Debian. I think it is even possible to run Jessie with a current kernel, (which is quite cool) but I haven't tried it. I just upgraded all machines to Stretch and called it a day. I just did the apt-get update; apt-get upgrade dance in a hurry yesterday and thought I might be good. My post was more a reminder to everyone not be lulled into a false sense of security...
- wazoox 9y agoI run (many) jessie systems with 4.9 kernels (still haven't made a 4.14 configuration). No problem at all.
- pas 9y agoYou might want to bite the bullet and upgrade from 4.9, because the patches for 4.9 are not so rock solid: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16087736 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16087736
