Bananian Linux 15.08 released - 2015-08-22 The team of the Bananian Linux project is pleased to announce the release of Bananian Linux 15.08 for Banana Pi (and family). This update is a rebase on Debian 8/Jessie, along with a lot of bugfixes (some related to the rebase) and minor improvements. A Debian 7/Wheezy image (Bananian 15.04) will still be available and maintained.
We are supporting the Banana Pi, Banana Pi M1+, Banana Pro, BPI-R1 and some other A20 boards with just one single image. See https://www.bananian.org/hardware for more information.
Existing Bananian installations can easily be upgraded without losing any data or settings.
