14 DAY TRIAL // Today, November 27, 2016, the developers of the Debian-based Parsix GNU/Linux distribution announced the availability of new security updates for the Parsix GNU/Linux 8.10 "Erik" and 8.15 "Nev" releases.
While the upcoming Parsix GNU/Linux 8.15 "Nev" release is still in the works, it gets the same security updates as Parsix GNU/Linux 8.10 "Erik," which are being ported from the upstream repositories of Debian GNU/Linux 8 "Jessie" (a.k.a. Debian Stable) to Parsix GNU/Linux's own repos.
It's been a week since our previous report on the security updates pushed to the stable Parsix GNU/Linux repositories, and we're seeing updated versions of the Vim text editor, Apache Tomcat 7 and 8 Java Servlet Containers, as well as Wireshark network protocol analyzer.
"Parsix Developers closely follow Debian Security Advisories and port them to our own security repository. Right now we are offering security support for both of our stable and testing branches. Parsix Continent repository is also fully supported by security updates," reads the security page on the Parsix GNU/Linux wiki.
Parsix GNU/Linux 8.10 and 8.15 now powered by Linux kernel 4.4.35 LTS
In some more good security news for your Parsix GNU/Linux users, both 8.10 and 8.15 releases are now powered by the recently released Linux 4.4.35 kernel, which we recommend to install on your Parsix GNU/Linux machine as soon as possible, along with the rest of the updates mentioned above.
As a new kernel update is involved, you'll need to reboot your PC this time. We always recommend that you keep your Parsix GNU/Linux computers up to date and secure by installing the newest security patches. Newcomers can download the Parsix GNU/Linux 8.10 or 8.15 TEST1 ISO images right now from our website.
