What’s new in Debian 9?
Your NICs are now named using BIOS/firmware and slot. For example ens0 or enp1s1 (Ethernet) or wlp3s0 (WLAN):
The Xorg server no longer requires running as root user. It reduces the risk of privilege escalation via bugs in the X server. Another security feature includes compiling all executables using PIE (“position independent executables”) i.e. ASLR will be turned on by default using GCC 6 compiler for almost all binaries.
Latest software includes:
- LibreOffice 5.2
- Calligra 2.9
- MariaDB (MariaDB replaces Oracle MySQL Server) 10.1
- PHP 7.0
- Python 3.5 (default)
- PostgreSQL 9.6
- Samba 4.5
- Vim 8
- Emacs 25.1
- Exim MTA 4.88
- GCC 6.3
