Debian 9 -Stretch

[viking60]

It is time to upgrade my good old Debian 8 (Jessie) to Debian 9 (Stretch).
First I updated my Debian 8
Then I checked my Debian version with

Code: Select all

cat /etc/issue

or

Code: Select all

cat /etc/os-release

and it was Debian 8.11.

So basically I need the debian 9 repos and I found me a magical command to fix them:
As root:

Code: Select all

sed -i 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list

This should set my mirrors to Debian 9 so the next thing is to do a

Code: Select all

apt-get update

and

Code: Select all

apt-get upgrade

(both as root).

Now it is time to check the Debian version again

Code: Select all

cat /etc/os-release

and true enough:

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="9"
VERSION="9 (stretch)"
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

So far so good TIme to reboot then ....

Success! Debian lives up to its rock solid reputation: Everything is there and I have not noticed anything peculiar
