Debian Installer RC1 Is Out

rekt writes "The Debian crew has just announced the release of debian-installer RC1. You can find versions of it for 11 different architectures at the d-i page. This is one of the most flexible, modular installer architectures out there. As we near the release of sarge (debian 3.1) next month, it's important that we find and work out any bugs in the installer. Grab a copy and give it a shot!"

I've given it a shot

Grab a copy and give it a shot!

I've downloaded a copy, burned it on a CD and gave it a few shots.

This is the result.

Debian woes

I'm sort of new to this linux thing, but there's this directory on my new install of Debian 3.1 called "/usr/bin". It was all messed up when I first went in there. None of the files had descriptive names, and it took me like an hour to figure out they were executables, since none of them had .exe on the end of them. Furthermore, whenever I double click them, they just pop up a command prompt for a few seconds then go away.

I was gonna delete them, but I got kinda afraid that they might be my kernel, so I fiugred I'd ask. It's ok to delete this stuff, right?

Re:Why 3.1 instead of 4.0?

Or skip 5 or 6 whole numbers, Slackware? Or add digits of pie, TeX? (Debian could start that now.) Or pick a random number, Futurama?
