Debian Installer Alpha 3: The Debian Project developers have announced the release of the third alpha build of the Debian GNU/Linux 10 Buster installer, which will be released in mid-2019.
For those who don't know the value of Debian, the Buster version, although experimental, is much more stable than many stable versions currently released in the GNU/Linux community.
The upcoming Debian GNU/Linux 10 Buster release, which is currently being developed, uses the Linux kernel 4.16. Of course, this means that the new kernel will not support all hardware out of the box. So if you want to try Debian GNU/Linux 10 Buster, it's better not to do it on a computer you just bought, or if you have very specialized hardware.
The new release brings the upgraded Cryptsetup (version 2.0.0), for full disk encryption, and the new debootstrap, a tool used to install a basic Debian system in a subfolder of an already installed system. The new tool supports bookworm and Acquire-By-Hash, while the X11 VT (Virtual Terminal) switch has been improved for espeakup. The installer can now also detect LVM logical volumes.
The new Debian Installer supports new hardware such as CubieTruck Plus, NanoPi NEO, SolidRun CuBox and SolidRun ClearFog, as well as installing 32-bit kernels on Raspberry Pi 3 and NVMe devices.
You can download Debian Installer Alpha 3 from the links below.
You will only need the first DVD for installation.
