Debian Leaders: We Need to Release More Often 460
daria42 writes "The lack of a new stable release of Debian GNU/Linux since July 2002 is fuelling the campaigns of many candidates for the project's Debian Project Leader role, with many pushing for a shorter and more stable release cycle to stop Linux users heading for greener and more updated pastures."

Debian was the first Linux distribution I ever downloaded, in the summer of 2003. I was on dial-up at the time (and didn't even have my own line, so I couldn't download 24/7), and I remember being worried that there'd be a new release by the time I was done downloading the first ISO. I mean, open-source software moves fast, right?
Should've relaxed.
well, are you done downloading yet? (Score:5, Funny)

redhat: the cafe food in the basement of the megacorp, great food but at airport restaurant prices.
novell/suse: the suits come in the front and pay to sit down and get served the same great food most of which is given away at the soup line in the back.
white hat: sneaks the food away from redhat and does the soup line thing. Some seasoning missing.
mandrake: tastes like redhat with somewhat better seasoning and operated kind of like the suse restaurant
gentoo: gourmet ingredients for you to build your own 9 course dinner, hopefully you don't starve in the meantime
debian: stale, week-past-expiration date bread that won't hurt you, and some rather tasteless but nurishing year-old jerky to put on it.
