However, older versions of Debian don't get newer versions of the software. Not all security fixes can be backported. So there is a slow, imperceptible gap between older versions and newer. You are almost certainly just fine on 9 now, and will be until LTS support ends. But 10 will be more secure at some point. Right now, it's a judgment call you'll have to make. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
