NEW • Distribution Release: Debian GNU/Linux 3.1r7 |
| Martin Schultze has announced the availability of the seventh revision of Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 "Sarge", the project's legacy (or "old stable") branch: "The Debian project is pleased to announce the seventh update of its old stable distribution Debian GNU/Linux 3.1. This is the first time we update the old stable distribution during the lifetime of the stable distribution. This update mainly adds corrections for security problems to the 'oldstable' release, along with a few adjustments to serious problems. With this release the installation system for sarge gains full support for installing 'oldstable' from network mirrors. This includes base-config. The installer also uses and supports the updated kernels included in this revision." Read the complete release announcement for further information. Debian GNU/Linux 3.1r7 is available as an update from the project's main FTP server and its mirrors. |

| 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. |
