Here I come again with very basic tutorial and this time I’ll show you how to upgrade your server running Debian 8.0 to Debian 8.1 along with a simple command how to check your Debian version.

About Debian 8.1

Debian 8.1 codename Jessie was released at June 6th, 2015. It is the first update of its stable distribution Debian 8. This update mainly adds corrections for security problems to the stable release, along with a few adjustments for serious problems. Security advisories were already published separately and are referenced where available. You can read full change log here.
