BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Debian Live Lenny Beta1 ======================= The Debian Live team[0] is pleased to announce the first beta of Debian Lenny's Live images. Although we missed releasing images for Etch along with the installer images, we are now prepared to release live images within the regular Lenny release process. This is the first official release of Debian Live and the whole team has been working hard during the past 2.5 years[1] to make Debian's own[2] live systems become a reality. Nevertheless, we do need your help to find more bugs and improve the live systems, so please try them out. The images are available at: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/lenny_live_beta1/ Please also have a look at the known issues listed below.

IconI considered reviewing Debian for this article. I downloaded a copy of Debian 3.0r2, making sure to get the disk with the 2.4 kernel. Everything you've heard about Debian being difficult to install? It's not totally true, but it's pretty close. I really wanted to try Debian, though, if only to use the vaunted apt-get system. I'd tried apt-rpm on a previous Red Hat installation, and it was great. Since Debian was turning out to be too difficult to put together, I decided to look for a debian-based distro.

BrianWCarver writes "It was inevitable. One can now run the entire Debian distribution (ARM port) on the Openmoko Neo Freerunner. We previously discussed the July 4th launch of this GNU/Linux-based smartphone, which is open down to its core, with the company providing CAD files and schematics for the phone. Openmoko released an update to their software stack earlier this month, called Om2008.8, which is still a work in progress. But now one can use these instructions on the Debian wiki to open up the possibility of using apt-get to access Debian's more than 20,000 applications on your phone, which, due to integration with freesmartphone.org efforts, can also actually be used as a phone. There were previous efforts to run Debian on the predecessor product to the Neo FreeRunner, the Neo 1973, but with the wider adoption of the Neo FreeRunne

Debian, the granddaddy of Linux distributions, is in trouble. Its planned September release date for Lenny - its latest release - has come and gone and there is still no sign of the new product. It seems the Debian team is battling “too many release critical bugs” to make Lenny viable. And now the team is calling for help from the community to squash the remainder of these bugs.

DeviceGuru writes "With Debian Lenny (aka 'testing') poised to displace Etch as the popular Linux distribution's 'stable' branch possibly as soon as next month, blogger Rick Lehrbaum loaded the latest preview (beta 2) of Lenny's KDE CD image onto an available Thinkpad, and took it for a spin. How's it coming along? After detailing a handful of issues — and offering solutions for each (except Bluetooth support) — he concludes: 'Other than the need for a few hacks and fixes, my main complaint with it is its inclusion of way too many of KDE's rich set of applications, such as games, tools, etc.' From the looks of it, looks like Lenny might be the new 'Debian stable' soon!"

The story of how Ian Murdock developed Debian while a student at Purdue and named the distribution for his girlfriend and himself has been told countless times. Many people, too, know that Debian is not only one of the largest distributions, but also the basis for countless other GNU/Linux distributions -- including five of the top ten listed on Distrowatch -- as well as a model for community based free and open source software (FOSS) projects.

"Debian packaging is somewhat more complicated. A package that is included in a Debian distribution must go through fairly rigorous tests. There are several scripts for checking correct packaging procedures, including lintian and linda."

If you do your Debian package management from the command line, you are probably aware of utilities that search the cache of available programs, such as apt-cache, apt-file, and dpkg. Possibly, too, you have cursed the limited search information available in graphical interfaces like Synaptic, which does not extend much beyond searching for the description, name, versions, and dependencies. Now, the GNOME Debian Package Finder (gpfind) is in the process of bring much of the command-line search capacity to the desktop -- although, at version 0.1.6, it is still too rough to replace its command-line equivalents for most users.

It’s not surprising that I managed to get Debian Linux running on the orange iMac I blogged about the other day. Since *buntu is based on Debian, this would seem to be a no-brainer. However, what is of note is the easy text-based install (very similar to Ubuntu’s alternate CD install, but with a much shorter download time and better support for installation of most features over the Internet (the normal CD is only about a quarter gig; everything else is downloaded using apt automatically during install).

"Can a distribution that serves as the base for others to profit keep its own userbase? Most definitely - indeed, in many cases, people have begun using Linux by installing Debian derivatives. They then find that the old man is much better than the children and switch to Debian, simply because it encapsulates many of the pluses that one cannot find in newer distributions."

Given that GCC moved to stage 3 recently, I decided to build the Debian archive to identify new issues before GCC 4.4 is released. I compiled the entire Debian archive (just under 8000 packages that need to be compiled) on x86_64, ia64 and powerpc, and about 1800 packages on arm (EABI). I also wanted to test GCC on alpha, mips and sparc but ran into compiler errors during bootstrap. In total, I filed 28 new bugs and ran into 7 known issues. 64% of the bugs I filed have already been fixed and many of those that are still open have already received some attention. I'd like to thank the GCC community for such an oustanding job dealing with incoming bug reports and fixing compiler regressions. Here's the complete list of issues I ran into: New bugs, fixed already: 18 - PR37342: same canonical type node for different types void.
