This past Valentines Day saw the release of Debian 5.0 , also known as Lenny. Debian is a pretty major Linux distribution, created by a giant network of developers from many walks of life. Many other distributions, including Ubuntu , are based on Debian. I’ve primarily been a Linux user for quite a while now – only keeping Windows around for games I can’t get running in Wine or a console. Debian has been my primary Linux distribution for about a year now as well. It is great to see Lenny release as the latest stable branch for Debian – I had been using it ever since I converted to Debian, while it was still in testing. It is certainly a rock solid release – although I’ll be moving onto the newest Testing branch now!
