Debian 3.0r2 Released
FrankoBoy writes "As announced on DistroWatch, Debian 3.0r2 has been released this weekend, with some security issues fixed... and Rock 'n Diamonds dropped because of license problems. Here's the official announcement. This release had been slowed by an attack on Debian boxes discussed Friday."
# vi /etc/apt/apt.conf
APT::Default-Release "unstable";
APT::Cache-Limit 10000000;
Apt::Get::Purge;
# apt-get update
# apt-get dist-upgrade
Hope this helps. If you don't quite want the cutting-edge-ness of unstable, use "testing" as the default release. Goddammit, I have to type for a bit more to overcome this stupid lameness filter. What gives, Taco? Still not enough text to overcome the filter, this really sucks. I'll start posting words from /etc/words in a minute ('cos that youldn't be lame or anything). aardvark aaron ablabab abracadabra anonymous anteater. I can see a use for lameness filters for ACs but for registered users with halfway-decent karma they blow goats. TACO THESE ARE NOT JUNK CHARACTERS, THEY ARE IMPORTANT YOU GOATFUCKING MORON.

After all that I forgot to post as plain ol' text... :-/
If someone ever gets round to re-writing slashcode to make it validate please could they replace the piece of crap posting system at the same time?

Not to sound like a troll, but I think Debian is finished for the non-hacker/hobbyist and here is why.
* Debian has gone from being overcautious to out of date. 3.x is still on the 2.2 kernel by default. Other distros are on 2.4 and looking to 2.6 already. The packages have the same problem.
* I hate to mention it, but I have too. The installer sucks. No business is going to roll out a distro as complex and time consuming as Debian's install.
* Appearance. Suse / Red Hat look more like professional distros from start to finish.
