Debian 3.0r4 Released

SeaFox writes "The Debian group has released an update to the 'Woody' distribution of the popular Linux/GNU OS. From the site: 'This is the fourth update of Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (codename woody) which mainly adds security updates to the stable release, along with a few corrections to serious problems. Those who frequently update from security.debian.org won't have to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are included in this update.' But the question on everyone's mind is probably when the current Testing branch, featuring much more up-to-date packages, will be named the new stable release."

    They finally got the 3.0r4 out! The international media is ecstatic at this staggering development, and the geeks worldwide are wearing t-shirts saying "3.0r4 is out - and YOU thought Woody was dead".

    I don't know, at this day and age releasing a new version of Woody sounds like a bad joke, kinda like 2.2.564 kernels. I bet that the next version of Ubuntu will be out before Sarge hits stable.
