Two Major Debian Releases In One Day

Posted by kdawson on from the busy-busy dept.

AndyCater writes "If all goes according to plan, Debian should release both an update to Debian Sarge (3.1r6, henceforth to be oldstable) and a new stable release (Debian 4.0, which was codenamed Etch) — and announce the results of the election for Debian Project Leader — all within 12 hours. Sarge was updated late on April 7th UTC, Sam Hocevar was announced as DPL at about 00:30 UTC, and preparations for the release of Debian Etch are ongoing and look good for later on the 8th."

  3. Duke Nukem Forever! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Debian Etch? How about Duke Nukem Forever? If Etch is out, I expect DN4ever out soon now too! Ok, sure, I switched from the pre-release version of etch to Ubuntu (Edgy Eft) about 2 months ago, having seen the stories about the new Debian being available possibly as late as November, then December at the latest, then ......(time passes), the first week in April? The next version of Ubuntu has a hard deadline of the 19th of this month.

    Umm, did any of the mods notice that the parent is a GNAA troll with bad karma, and quite a bit offtopic?
