Debian Leaders: We Need to Release More Often

daria42 writes "The lack of a new stable release of Debian GNU/Linux since July 2002 is fuelling the campaigns of many candidates for the project's Debian Project Leader role, with many pushing for a shorter and more stable release cycle to stop Linux users heading for greener and more updated pastures."

    Definitely Gentoo. A pain to install, but emerge is even nicer than apt-get. Just 'emerge packagename' and the package is downloaded and installed.

    Debian Linux, Linux zealots preferred and most secure OS, has died today. A phone call to the Debian office (in a Kansas basement) was not immediately returned.

    GNU/Hurd/Linux grandmaster RMS had the following to say.. "Debian was a great friend, always on time till its lack and luster faded away. Negligence was at fault, but fear not, the GNU/Hurds will be ready to discard any Debian code and have the poor, helpless OS join us in our GNU/Hurd conquest."

    I guess it's time to install Windows XP Professional Edition w/ Service Pack 2.. my pirate copy from China Town.. bye bye Debian

    Debian leaders once again went out and pretended that their distro is still relevant. "All we have to do is keep the /. editors happy - as long as those guys have a hard-on for Debian we'll be able to keep acting relevant until someone realizes that there aren't any more Debian users as they have all converted to OS X.

    Get a clue. What would you put in between stable and testing...

    The more layers you add to the process, the slower the process will become and the worse the problem will be.

    Try being part of the solution and not part of the problem.
