From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No, this is standard procedure. Your system and software have been updated to the latest, stable version. Unless you actively add a repo containing unstable software versions, there shouldn't be anything to worry about.
Perfect I just wanted to make sure I was worried it may have automatically added them without the CD ROM one holding it in place or something like that. Thank you so much!
You really only need the "CD ROM" repo for the base install from physical media; maybe there are edge cases where you'd want to roll back, but on the whole you're in safe hands with the official, Debian stable repos 🙂
Enjoy the Linux journey! Debian is a great starting point to learn from, IMHO.
