    Hi.

    Thanks a billion for this great minimal OS. It is awesome.

    One question:
    There has been a raspbian update recently, which solves many bugs. (https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/another-update-raspbian/)
    How can we upgrade the minibian to the latest jessie framework?
    Is the following enough?

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    

    Or is it needed to wait for a minibian deb release?

      Thats all I did and have had no real issues so far. It is a better build for me as it allows me to set the CRDA country code for wifi. The only problem I had was that the hostapd service fails to start properly. It will start manually and in the end I took it out of the sysv init.d structure and turned it into a systemd service and it al works well.

        Thanks @Ian7110 for your answer.
        So you mean, we don't have to wait for an update release of Minibian; right?
        And we can run

        sudo apt-get update
        sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
        

        to upgrade to the latest framework; right?
        Do we need other commands, like

        sudo apt-get upgrade
        

        or

        sudo rpi-update
        

        !?

    All you need to do is

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
