Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 updated

The Debian project is pleased to announce the fifth update of its stable
distribution Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (codename "etch").  This update mainly
adds corrections for security problems to the stable release, along with
a few adjustment to serious problems.

Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian
GNU/Linux 4.0 but only updates some of the packages included.  There is
no need to throw away 4.0 CDs or DVDs but only to update via an
up-to-date Debian mirror after an installation, to cause any out of date
packages to be updated.

Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't have
to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are
included in this update.

New CD and DVD images containing updated packages and the regular
installation media accompanied with the package archive respectively will
be available soon at the regular locations.

Upgrading to this revision online is usually done by pointing the
aptitude (or apt) package tool (see the sources.list(5) manual page) to

Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 updated and support for newer hardware added

The Debian project is pleased to announce the fourth update of its
stable distribution Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (codename etch).  In addition
to correcting several security problems and a few serious defects in the
stable release, for the first time in Debian's history an update for a
stable distrubtion also adds support for newer hardware by giving users
the option to install newer drivers.

Existing Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 installation CDs and DVDs can continue to
be used to install this update. After installation, upgrading via an
up-to-date Debian mirror will cause any out of date packages to be
updated. However, users of the network-console installation method are
strongly encouraged to update their media, see the "Debian Installer"
portion of this announcement for more information.

Those who install updates frequently from security.debian.org won't have
to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are
included in this update. 

New CD and DVD images containing updated packages and the regular
installation media accompanied with the package archive respectively
will be available soon at the regular locations.

Security Support for Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 to be terminated on March 31st

One year after the release of Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias 'etch' and
nearly three years after the release of Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 alias
'sarge' the security support for the old distribution (3.1 alias
'sarge') is coming to an end next month.  The Debian project is proud
to be able to support its old distribution for such a long time and
even for one year after a new version has been released.

The Debian project has released Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias 'etch' on
the 8th of April 2007.  Users and Distributors have been given a
one-year timeframe to upgrade their old installations to the current
stable release.  Hence, the security support for the old release of
3.1 is going to end in March 2007 as previously announced.

Previously announced security updates for the old release will continue
to be available on security.debian.org.

Security Updates

The Debian Security Team provides security updates for the current
distribution via <http://security.debian.org/>.  Security updates for the
old distribution are also provided for one year after the new

Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 released

The Debian Project is pleased to announce the official release of Debian
GNU/Linux version 4.0, codenamed "etch", after 21 months of constant
development.  Debian GNU/Linux is a free operating system which supports
a total of eleven processor architectures and includes the KDE, GNOME
and Xfce desktop environments.  It also features cryptographic software
and compatibility with the FHS v2.3 and software developed for version
3.1 of the LSB.

Using a now fully integrated installation process, Debian GNU/Linux 4.0
comes with out-of-the-box support for encrypted partitions.  This
release introduces a newly developed graphical frontend to the
installation system supporting scripts using composed characters and
complex languages; the installation system for Debian GNU/Linux has now
been translated to 58 languages.

Also beginning with Debian GNU/Linux 4.0, the package management system
has been improved regarding security and efficiency.  Secure APT allows
the verification of the integrity of packages downloaded from a mirror.
Updated package indices won't be downloaded in their entirety, but
instead patched with smaller files containing only differences from
earlier versions.

GNU/Linux 3.1 are advised to update their /etc/apt/sources.list network
sources to refer to `sarge' instead of `stable'.

Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian
