Feel the Love at Robert Pogson

Debian 5.0 Lenny will be pushed to mirrors tonight, unless wheels fall off…

see this blog . That is not the official announcement, just news of the preparation. This is a wonderful Valentine’s Day present to the world.

The last release of Debian, Etch, has served us well and I will continue to use it in production until I have tested Lenny. Last I heard, there were still strange things about the installer and hard disk device names, but that will sort itself out.

Congratulations to the Debian team for their years of hard work on 11 architectures and many thousands of packages. Take a bow. M$, eat your heart out.

Compared to that other OS, Debian is a model of efficiency. Debian releases much more software on many more architectures and, in a similar period of time, M$ can only do a point-release. )

UPDATE:

Here is the Official Announcement.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
