Sarge is Now Frozen

Posted by timothy on from the chill-yo dept.

JoeBuck writes "Steve Langasek has announced that Debian Sarge is now frozen. He produced a schedule that would lead to a Debian release at the end of May, though I would expect it to slip somewhat. I'm glad that the long wait for a Debian release will soon be over."

      If I could only have one OS it would have to be Debian, Ubuntu and Gentoo.

    By frozen, I'm guessing you mean poor Sarge was cryogenically frozen, right? What's the prognosis?

    Oh...they've encased him in carbonite. He should be quite well-protected -- if he survives the freezing process, that is.
