Debian Sarge Coming Soon

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the believe-it-when-you-see-it dept.

daria42 writes "The long awaited 3.1 release of the Debian GNU/Linux distribution - codenamed Sarge - is due out next week on the 6th of June, according to the project's release team. Around 50 release-critical bugs remain to be fixed. One more update to Debian 3.0 will also be released prior to that date. And it's about time - the last formal release was back in July 2002. Debian 3.0 will probably be supported with security patches for another 12 months."

  1. NO MORE OF THIS CRAP! by grimdonkey · · Score: -1, Troll

    I run debian for some time now and I love it. Because of this I got to the point where I *do not* want to see debian stories posted on slashdot anymore. I got tired of sifting through millions of lame-ass jokes and posts and re-posts with explanations of the release cycle and philosophy, just to find one or two insightful or interesting comments.

    I hear it will sport kernel 2.4.3, XFree86 4.1, KDE 2, and GNOME 1.8. Any one else have any details on the updated software list?

    Sarge coming? Will it come with Duke Nukem Forever? And will it support the Phantom console?

    Is it a good thing that Debian is so slow that most people feel it is just fine to run unstable????
