Upgrade your Raspbian Pi
What's new?
After the Raspberry Pi has rebooted successfully, you can confirm that you're now running Jessie by looking at the file /etc/debian_version
:
root@raspbi:~# cat /etc/debian_version 8.0
To check which kernel is running, use the uname
command:
root@raspbi:~# uname -a Linux raspbi 4.1.6-v7+ #810 SMP PREEMPT \ Tue Aug 18 15:32:12 BST 2015 armv7l \ GNU/Linux
The major change is the migration to the new init system. Wheezy was still using the "old" SysV, whereas Jessie ships with systemd-sysv
. You will also see upgrades in PHP, the Apache web server, and a number of other components. The developers adjusted some desktop components, changed to a newer Gtk+ library, and included LibreOffice and Claws Mail. See the Raspberry Pi website for more [6].
