Debian Etch Declared ‘Stable’

 Powered by Max Banner Ads 
I just noticed (ok, this is a tad old, but still worth mentioning) that after 22 months of development since ‘Sarge’ was released as Debian GNU/Linus 3.0, Debian has finally declared ‘Etch’ stable and released it as Debian GNU/Linux 4.0.
Trivia question: what do the codenames of Debian GNU/Linux have in [...]

still looking

 Powered by Max Banner Ads

Live CD’s

 Powered by Max Banner Ads 
I know there’s a so-called ‘Live-CD’ available for several distributions of linux, but is there perhaps one available for Debian? Im particularly interested in one for Debian Etch.
