Debian 3.0r6 Released

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the old-favorites dept.

Polkan Garcia writes "The Debian group has released an update to the 'Woody' distribution of the popular GNU/Linux OS. From the site: 'This is the sixth and final 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.' More good news: r6 is the final update of woody, the new stable release is coming."

    On another note, I get the Debian bit and I know what linux is, but what's this GNU prefix ?

    That sounds good, but I hope that they're not just succumbing to deadline pressure and shoving this thing out the door half baked.
