Topic: Debian 4.0 finally released! | |
---|---|
For the linux aficionados in our amidst - the long awaited release of
Debian 4.0 has finally occurred!!! http://www.debian.org/News/2007/20070408 http://press-releases.techwhack.com/8809/debian/ And we can expect the latest Ubuntu in a matter of weeks. I'm besides myself with excitement. Something that never ceases to amaze me about GNU/Linux systems is the diversity of supported hardware - ALL of these processors are officially supported by Debian: "A total of eleven architectures are supported including: Sun SPARC (sparc), HP Alpha (alpha), Motorola/IBM PowerPC (powerpc), Intel IA-32 (i386) and IA-64 (ia64), HP PA-RISC (hppa), MIPS (mips, mipsel), ARM (arm), IBM S/390 (s390) and – newly introduced with Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 – AMD64 and Intel EM64T (amd64)." Plus all the chips to which others have ported Linux. |

Is anyone planning to install this or upgrade to this soon? If so, what
method will you use? (apt-get, or burning/buying an ISO - and from whom?) Anyone know is someone is already selling DVDs of this? |

(Nevermind about DVD sellers - I found some. Bet they'll be back-logged
though...) |

coooool. I have been thinking about another Linux flavor for some time
now. I would like to try the new Ubuntu. I always make my own install disks from ISO. Thanks for the info. |
