Distro Hoppin`: Parsix GNU/Linux 3.5

,----[ Quote ]
| Though lacking any so-called killer features, 
| Parsix GNU/Linux 3.5 is a solid release and 
| can be used on both home and production 
| machines. There are some weird sound-related 
| issues and the video driver installation 
| process can frighten some more inexperienced 
| users, but other than that, there aren't 
| really any reasons to not take a look or two 
| at this distro.

Debian 6.0 Squeeze behind schedule

,----[ Quote ]
| The Debian release team are sounding the
| alarm: With only one month left before the
| planned release freeze, the number of
| critical bugs in Debian 6.0 Squeeze is still
| far too high to freeze development and create
| the next stable version of Debian. As a
| result, it has become unlikely that Squeeze
| will be released this summer as scheduled.

Why debian rocks

,----[ Quote ]
| It has been quite some time, actually
| years, since I started using Debian.
| Earlier I have used various flavors of
| Linux like SuSE, Red Hat, RHEL, Fedora,
| Ubuntoo but my experience with Debian has
| been so far the best. I just thought to
| write the reasons for which I really like
| Debian compared to other systems.

|
| Debian is available for a variety of
| architectures and platforms, which further
| increases the user base as well as the
| support base. Ports of debian exist for
| most common architectures like ARM, MIPS,
| PPC, x86, x86_64 etc. There are variety of
| GNU/Linux distribution which are Debian
| based, most notable of them is Ubuntoo,
| which further increases the support and
| user base.
