Interview with Debian's New Project Leader

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stuck-on-authenticating dept.

With the recent news that Anthony Towns will be taking over as the Debian Project Leader, Linux.com took a few minutes to sit down and feel out the new DPL-elect. From the interview: "The immediate plan is to organize the various ideas I've had so that I can work out which ones are actually worth working on, and what order to do them in; and to make sure that all the people who volunteered to be DPL during the campaign, or offered their help don't go away without some good ideas about extra things they can do. "

    unfortunately, it took Debian several years to release it because it had to be translated into 15 languages, including aramaic

    What is this "Debian" about which you write? Oh that's right, that's the gang of idiots that took over TWO FUCKING YEARS to include KDE3 in sid.

    MOD PARENT UP! It only took me one and a half year to compile KDE on my Gnetwo-b0x3n, which proves why Gnetwo is the right choice for production server workstations.

    Besides, I think Ubuntu, on which Debian is based, is much stabler the Debian. Don't get me wrong, Debian is not that bad for a distribution run by amateur newbies and unemployed sys-admins, but it still has to catch up in all areas.

      Yes, but you can change that with a USE flag.
