Re: Call for Testing: Stretch Cloud Images on AWS
Hello Noah
I found another issue on the image
$ cat /etc/mailname
ip-10-0-0-64.us-west-2.compute.internal
and this is not a bug, but a diference in opinion
$ grep security /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main
instead you can use
deb http://cloudfront.debian.net/debian-security jessie/updates main
traffic has no cost :)
let me know if you prefer emails or bug reports
thanks!
