Debian 3.1 Released
Nice "up to date" (for Debian, anyway  ) packages include GNOME 2.8, Firefox 1.0.4, Thunderbird 1.0.2, OpenOffice.org 1.1.3, and kernel 2.4.27.Quite an amazing day, today is. |

Heh, so Debian is your favorite Linux distro? I am still running FreeBSD here but haven't spent much time lately to keep it up-to-date.

Currently I'm running Debian unstable on my old desktop (PII), so this release doesn't actually affect me, but it's nice to know. I'm also starting to use Ubuntu on a machine I generally use for testing stuff.
But still, when Debian releases a new stable, it's rather large news. Especially with those rather-new packages. 3.0 was using things like KDE 2.2.2, Gnome 1.4, and Mozilla 1.0. Over three years since the last release! |

The ISO of the official 3.1 release has an unfortunate bug. The installed Debian doesn't contain or download any security updates, since there is an error in "/etc/apt/sources.list". It points to "http://security.debian.org/stable/updates", but instead should point to "http://security.debian.org/testing/updates". To fix this problem, simply make sure that the file points to the correct url. Debian is going to release updated ISO files soon which will carry the version 3.1r0a.
