Welcome To Debian Lenny

Posted by Michael Larabel on April 12, 2007

While Debian 4.0 "Etch" was released just a few days ago, planning has already begun for the next major Debian release. Lenny is the codename for the next Debian release that is due out a little over a year from now. Lenny will be based upon Etch and over 2000 packages have already been updated, but the interesting features for Lenny haven't yet been conceived. Next week Anthony Towns will be stepping down as the Debian Project Leader and will be released by Sam Hocevar. More information is available at LinuxWorld.
