Debian-Installer Alpha Released

robstah writes "An alpha release of the next generation Debian installer (Debian-Installer) has been announced. Debian-Installer is an actively developed replacement for the older and now rather delapidated boot-floppies installer. This alpha release is available for i386 only as ports to other platforms are not yet significantly mature. Volunteers are requested to test this new installer and help contribute to Sarge, the next release of Debian GNU/Linux." Now's the time to complain if you want to be heard.

    THIS IS NOT A TROLL, ITS THE SAD PAINFUL TRUTH. Debian is using outdated software (KDE 2.2, Gnome 1.2), an outdated kernel (2.2). It has NO compelling features, whats the point of apt-get if you cant get good software for it. Other distros have made debian obsolete! Theres gentoo for the geeks, lycoris/lindows for people who think the internets aol, theres red hat for server stuff, and suse for destkop work, and mandrake for multimedia and fun. They all have up to date software, they all support usb mice (unlike debian), and they all get along without crapian. Why dosent the team just fuckget about linux and concetrate on the turd
