 ==== For servers ====
-Buster is still testing and has no proper security support. I strongly recommend against using Buster on a server already.
+Although my page is aimed at desktop usage, please don't use the above sources.list on a server! There it should look something like this.
-===== Stretch =====
+If you are using fast-moving packages like ClamAV you should also enable the 'stretch-updates' repository. And for firmware files (sometimes necessary on servers) you should add the "non-free" section as well.

+==== sources.list ====
+As Debian GNU/Linux (Buster) is the current release, I do not recommend to use Stretch on the desktop anymore.

 ==== For servers ====
-Although my page is aimed at desktop usage, please don't use the above sources.list on a server! There it should look something like this.
+You can still use Stretch safely on a server, but you should upgrade before july 2020 as the security support for Buster will end then (unless you run an LTS supported version).
-If you are using fast-moving packages like ClamAV you should also enable the 'stretch-updates' repository. And for firmware files (sometimes necessary on servers) you should add the "non-free" section as well.
