JoeBuck writes "Steve Langasek has announced that Debian Sarge is now frozen. He produced a schedule that would lead to a Debian release at the end of May, though I would expect it to slip somewhat. I'm glad that the long wait for a Debian release will soon be over."

By frozen, I'm guessing you mean poor Sarge was cryogenically frozen, right? What's the prognosis?
Worry not, he'll be promoted to Colonel (kernel) in no time.

Oh...they've encased him in carbonite. He should be quite well-protected -- if he survives the freezing process, that is.

Since most of us weren't alive the last time this happened:

Think seriously about whether you want your apt sources list to say "testing" or "sarge"

There's no single answer to that question, if you get it wrong, it might lead to a very long day.

Perhaps this is all a sign that Debian needs to change their naming policy, and just call the next stable distribution "hell", that way we can have accurate headlines.

They did NOT say the distribution was frozen, only the name.

The name of the song is called "Haddocks' Eyes".'

`Oh, that's the name of the song, is it?' Alice said, trying to feel interested.

`No, you don't understand,' the Knight said, looking a little vexed. `That's what the name is called. The name really is "The Aged Aged Man".'

`Then I ought to have said "That's what the song is called"?' Alice corrected herself.

`No, you oughtn't: that's quite another thing! The song is called "Ways and Means": but that's only what it's called, you know!'

`Well, what is the song, then?' said Alice, who was by this time completely bewildered.

`I was coming to that,' the Knight said. `The song really is "A-sitting On a Gate": and the tune's my own invention.'

If I could only have one OS it would have to be Debian, Ubuntu and Gentoo.

In other words, you want FreeBSD.
