Debian Lenny Installer RC1 Arrives

Posted by timothy on from the not-lenny-from-of-mice-and-men dept.

nerdyH writes "It appears that Debian 5.0 (aka "Lenny") will soon take its big binocular eyes out into the wider world. Only two months later than expected, the Debian project has completed the first release candidate of Lenny's installer. Featuring much faster installation from "live" CDs, and expanded support for ARM-based devices such as NAS servers, Lenny has gestated for 19 months, compared to 21 months for the previous "Etch" release. Lookout, world, Debian releases are picking up speed! The download is here."

    [OT] The first time you wrote "prefected" I suspected a typo. I'm sure you meant "perfected". You could also leave out the apostrophes in plurals and use "distros" and "CDs" instead. Though I guess a real Grammar Nazi will now follow with the possible correctness of "CD's" ;)
