Debian Aims For September Release Date

Posted by michael on from the slow-and-steady-wins-the-race dept.

An anonymous submitter writes "Debian Planet has a good discussion of the most recent release update from the new Debian release managers. The most interesting point is the current hard freeze of base+standard and an optimistic but doable release date in September."

    but a wickedly difficult installation method (dselect/tasksel)

    I ask you, has anyone ever seen a worse user interface than dselect's? It seems to me that it *tries* to obfusticate software installation. Its authors work and making it hard to use. I think it is singlehandedly responsible for the meteoric rise of Gentoo as the GNU/Linux choice for purists.
