Debian GNU/Linux 2.1, aka slink, was released last night (again). It contains well over 2500 packages, and packages for GNOME and KDE, though not included in the distro, are available. Intel, Alpha, SPARC, and m68k are the supported architechtures. Potato (2.2) should be frozen shortly. More details and CD order form at netgod.net. Congrats, guys!

At 00:00:00AM UTC, (7PM EST, and 4PM PST for you lucky bastards at LWCE) Debian will release Debian 2.1, codenamed "Slink". Slink has been frozen for four months, and was almost skipped. Right now, we are celebrating the release on irc.openprojects.net, #debian. Last time we had over 300 people in one channel, and had an incredible amount of fun. Order CDs and check out the party HQ at netgod.net. Be there or be square! Update: 03/02 06:47 by J : Looks as though the release has been delayed another week. An announcement should be on the web site soon.

The Debian Project has finally released version 2.0 of their Linux distribution. After many months of work and testing, Debian 2.0 was finally released at 00:00:00 UTC. Consisting of over 1800 glibc-compiled packages, very few mirrors have it, but you are encouraged to use them as ftp.debian.org will be swamped for a long time. Those of you who are truly in the know will order a CD from netgod. Ding dong, libc5 is dead!

The Debian Project has officially declared Hamm as entering the second beta phase. With around 44 bugs to stomp out, it hopefully won't be too long before the final product is released. Those of you on the true "bleeding edge" can order CDs from Johnie Ingram, or can get info on downloading the images at the Debian CD image site.
