“This latest release from the Debian project will play well in
server deployments that draw on open-source components.“Version 6 of Debian GNU/Linux, the popular open-source project
that bills itself as “the universal operating system,” hit the
Internet on ‘Superbowl Sunday’, packing a trove of updated
applications and a pair of new editions to burnish its universal
billing.“The distribution, which already stands out for its broad
processor architecture support — spanning 12 architectures
— branches out in version 6 with 32- and 64-bit editions
based on the FreeBSD kernel. These new editions, while rough around
the edges, open new opportunity for technology sharing among
separate open-source operating systems and indicate that the
project that gave birth to Ubuntu Linux continues to drive open
source in new directions.”
