Debian Maintainer Hints At September Release for Lenny 117
nerdyH writes "The Debian project's maintainer, Luke Claes, announced in an email Saturday that he will freeze the 'testing' or 'Lenny' tree, in preparation for a new stable release of Debian Linux in ...

After the freeze starts next week, Debian maintainers will turn their attention to 364 release-critical bugs, and half-a-dozen high-priority goals. Given the work to be done, is September really feasible? Lenny always was a little slow getting back to his right place ..."

A new release already? That doesn't sound right.
This isn't the Debian I grew up with.
Something's fishy.

I would, but I don't have a quad-core box yet.
Why the name "Lenny"? (Score:2, Funny)
Trump Ubuntu in their weird names, call it Lemmy instead.
You might at least get a good look at Debian from people other than us just on the name alone.

This is just a release announcement. As usual, they give you the month, but not the year.
