Debian 3.0 (Woody) May 1?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the best-gets-better dept.

dex@ruunat noted that this morning, in a message to the debian-devel-announce mailing list, Anthony Towns, Debian's Release Manager, wrote: "I'm becoming increasingly confident in woody's release readiness. So, to go out on a limb: Debian 3.0 (codenamed woody) will release on May 1st, 2002." Congrats to all the debheads putting this thing together. I have a blank CDR waiting ;)

    I bet everyone around you is impressed with the fact that you're a "Linux guru" - you're adamantly pro-linux, despite not really knowing how things like a scheduler work or being able to write decent code. You and your friends snicker when you use terms like Micro$lop and M$ to refer to Microsoft, because it's a funny and original play on the company's name.

    Let's play a game, kids...it's called CLOSEMINDED, UNINFORMED, AND NERD-STATUS-SEEKING LINUX ZEALOT.

  3. KDE is better old than broke by danrees · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    DanielS is spot on again - a stable release should be about being able to get things done with no crashes, no segfaults and no bugs whatsoever. In terms of productivity, KDE3 doesn't offer *that much* over KDE 2.2.2, and so there isn't any point in rushing it. I would rather have KDE 2.2.2 packages that work than broken KDE 3 packages. People moan about KDE 3 debs not being available yet, but then you just have to look at the problems Mandrake users are having with their 8.2 RPMs which screw up their existing installation...

    Man, you sure don't see any Macintosh faggots posting on the Debian stories.
