Bugs Delay Release of Debian Lenny

A. B. VerHausen writes to tell us that over 200 release-critical bugs continue to push back Debian Lenny's release date. Originally slated for a September release, there is still a long road to be traveled before Lenny sees the light of day. Project leader Steve McIntyre says they may consider dropping some packages for the release if they continue to cause problems, and while an end of October release is the goal, only time will tell.

Why don't they just fork from Ubuntu

Oh come on! Everybody knows that they should have released long ago and that we should be waiting for SP1 before we actually install it!

Be careful. I hear Mark Shuttleworth has a patent on that.

Ubuntu's childish names.

You ain't seen nothing yet: 2016.4 will be Pulsating Penis!

Just wait till Debian names the next release after Wheezy, the asthmatic penguin.

Re:Don't use Sarge

I still use Debian Sarge on my current server.

Bad idea. Support for Sarge ended in April, so you haven't been getting any security updates since then, and there are some known weaknesses.

You should upgrade to Etch, ASAP.

Look, just get his IP address and do it for him.
