NEW • Distribution Release: Debian 2.2r7 |
| Potato's 7th revision has appeared on the Debian's FTP server. It's kind of hard to get excited about the release which is nothing more than a security and critical bug fix update. This word from the potato's release manager: "This may also be the last version of the 2.2 series, depending on how well the woody release is making progress. There is, however, still a possibility another update (r8, to be scheduled at the beginning of August) has to be released before Debian 3.0." An official announcement should be out shortly (keep an eye on the Latest News page), but I believe that those of you still running potato know the apt-get drill pretty well by now...

| About Debian GNU/Linux |
| The Debian Project is an association of individuals who have made common cause to create a free operating system. This operating system is called Debian GNU/Linux, or simply Debian for short. Debian systems currently use the Linux kernel. Linux is a completely free piece of software started by Linus Torvalds and supported by thousands of programmers worldwide. Of course, the thing that people want is application software: programs to help them get what they want to do done, from editing documents to running a business to playing games to writing more software. Debian comes with over 20,000 packages (precompiled software that is bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine) - all of it free. It's a bit like a tower. At the base is the kernel. On top of that are all the basic tools. Next is all the software that you run on the computer. At the top of the tower is Debian -- carefully organizing and fitting everything so it all works together. |
