Debian Project Releases 7.0 "Wheezy" Installer Candidate

Posted by timothy on from the so-many-people-hours dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The first release candidate of Debian Installer 7.0 Wheezy was released this week. Debian 7.0 is set to introduce a number of new features including optional systemd support, a real-time Linux kernel option, UEFI installation support, and the Debian Installer now supports WPA/WPA2 wireless networks. More Debian 7.0 features are listed on the Debian Wiki and the 7.0 RC1 installer can be downloaded at Debian.org." Update: 02/21 16:12 GMT by S : Changed headline and summary to reflect that it was the Installer release candidate, not the distribution.

    This is the Debian Installer, not Debian.

    As a DD, I was shocked slashdot knew before me.

    This is RC1 of the debian installer, not of the wheezy distribution.

    Even the Phoronix article clearly has "Debian 7.0 "Wheezy" Installer Release Candidate 1" See that? INSTALLER!

    Stop degrading Slashdot with misleading headlines!

    No need to assume anything here. It's explained nicely in this FAQ: The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ - section 6.2
