Distribution Release: Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 for AMD64 (Unofficial) |
| The ISO images of the unofficial port of Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 "sarge" to the AMD64 architecture are now available for download. The release was formally announced last week in this mailing list post: "Following the 'big' release we have a small one to announce: Debian AMD64 Port is now also declared stable. From now on there will be no changes to this archive, except for point releases which will be coordinated closely with the Debian ones. Security support for this release will be provided by the Debian Security Team via security.debian.org." See also the release notes for more details. Here are the usual quick links to the two binary DVD images: debian-31r0a-amd64-binary-1.iso (4,474MB) and debian-31r0a-amd64-binary-2.iso (3,438MB). CD images and BitTorrent trackers are also available. |

| 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. |
