ISG News has posted a new item, 'Upgrade of Debian Linux workstations'
Between May and June 2026, all Debian Linux workstations will be upgraded to
the latest stable version, 'Trixie'.
This is because the current version, “Bookworm”, will reach the end of its
life on 9 June 2026.
What does this mean for you?
Almost nothing will change in your daily work routine. Your familiar work
environment will remain the same and no major changes are expected. The
upgrade will primarily update the installed software to a newer version.
Do you need to do anything?
No, you don't need to do anything. We will perform the upgrade in the
background.
Please note that your system will restart after the upgrade.
When will the upgrade take place?
The upgrade is scheduled to take place between May and June 2026.
The time of each upgrade will be coordinated in advance.
Please note that, due to the upcoming end of life (EOL), it is not possible to
delay this indefinitely. Migration is mandatory for all workstations.
Beta test
If you have a spare workstation that could participate in beta testing, please
get in touch with us now.
Questions or issues?
If you have any questions before or after the upgrade, please contact us at
