Debian Etch Released
Yuzu is a dedicated box in my basement with a LAMP installation that I can just ssh or rsync into form any computer within my home. As of April 9th this sever is now running Debian 4.0r0, or simply “Etch”. 21 months in development and worth every minute, Debian Etch is by far one of the most stable Linux distributions I’ve worked with to this day.
I’ve been experimenting with Debian’s ‘testing’ repository on my PC for a few months now, now that they officially support the AMD64 architecture. I’ve grown tired of Fedora, although it is professionally polished, Fedora has always lacked the vibrant community of Ubuntu. Not to mention yum (think: apt-get but for RPM’s) has always been a big pain (think: RPM hell… but automated).
And for those who were wondering; The last Debian Sarge install topped out at 149 Days, 0 Hours, 55 Minutes, and 32 Seconds of uptime.
