,----[ Quote ]
| The Debian release team recently announced
| the current status of the next Debian
| release Squeeze. The team just finished the
| work on some major parts like completing the
| changes to run init scripts in parallel,
| transition to eglibc into testing, GNOME
| 2.30 and KDE 4.4.3. The next big step is to
| make Python 2.6 the default python version
| for sqeeeze and based on Adam Barratt
| estimation this could be finished sometime
| in late August, and at that time to freeze
| the release.

BOSS is Nobody's Boss!

,----[ Quote ]
| Developed by C-DAC (Centre for Development
| of Advanced Computing), it's yet another
| Debian fork with packages more dated than
| the current Debian stable, Lenny (Remember,
| Squeeze is close to freezing and is
| unofficially ready for mass consumption).
| BOSS' software stack has all the usual
| suspects such as - Web server, proxy server,
| Database server, Mail server, Network
| server, File and Print server, SMS server,
| LDAP server, plus all major Indian language
| packs. However, all these and the underlying
| kernel, desktop environments and userland is
| very old. Now, the latest, at version 3.0,
| it still sticks to linux 2.6.22, xorg 1.3,
| gnome 2.20, OOo 2.2 and FF 3.

Debian Squeeze Pre-review

,----[ Quote ]
| Every two years or so, Debian puts out a new
| "stable" release. This is my favorite
| distribution because of the minimal number of
| bugs and the huge software repositories and
| the powerful package manager. Right now,
| Lenny (5.0) is the stable release, and
| Squeeze (6.0) is in testing. Sometime "soon"
| Squeeze will get frozen, which means the
| regular flow of package migration will stop,
| and from then on it will only get bug and
| security fixes through a method of back-
| porting. Once the number of "release
| critical" bugs is reduced to an acceptable
| level (which used to mean 0, more recently it
| means 50 or so), then Squeeze will be
| released as the new stable version.
