Just yesterday, September 18, 2016, wereported on the official availability of the Debian GNU/linux 8.6 "Jessie" operating system, but no installation mediums of Live editions were announced.
That changes today, September 19, 2016, as we've received a tip from one of our readers that both the installation-only and Live ISO editions have been released on the official channels and are now available for download (see the links below if you want to get them now).
Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 "Jessie" is only a collection of security and software updates, so existing users don't need to download any ISO image to keep their installations up to date, just make sure that you have all the released updated packages installed from the stable repositories.
However, the Live editions are a different thing, as they allow newcomers to test the latest Debian GNU/Linux release with the GNOME, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, Cinnamon, and MATE desktop environments. ISO images are available for both 64-bit and 32-bit hardware architectures.
Download Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 "Jessie" Live ISOsAs usual, through this article, we are offering you the possibility of downloading the Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 GNOME , Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 KDE , Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 Xfce , Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 Cinnamon , Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 MATE , and Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 Standard Live editions right now via our website, where you'll be able to access Live ISO images for 64-bit or 32-bit computers.
However, please remember that, if you are already using one of the Debian editions mentioned above, or Debian GNU/Linux 8 "Jessie" for that matter, there's no need to download anything. That's because you'll get all the security fixes and software updates included in these new ISO images through the main software repositories of the distribution. Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 "Jessie" install-only ISOs are available via our website as well.
