Easy upgrade

Stamus is dedicated to provide the latest releases of Suricata, htp and kernel level. That's why we provide generic Debian packaging for the newest Suricata IDS/IPS , htp releases and newest long-term kernel level version (3.14.18 at the time of this writing).

SELKS comes with a standard Debian Wheezy distribution with 3.2 kernel - if you would like to upgrade to the latest long-term supported kernel you can just do (for example kernel 3.14.18):

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
apt-get install linux-headers-3.14.18-stamus linux-image-3.14.18-stamus

For everything else you can just do:

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

As easy as that!
