Debian Linux 3.0r1 Official CD's (7 CD
Set)
The Debian Project is pleased to announce the release of
Debian GNU/Linux version 3.0. Debian GNU/Linux is a free
operating system, which now supports a total of eleven
processor architectures, includes KDE and GNOME desktop
environments, features cryptographic software, is compatible
with the FHS v2.2 and supports software developed for the LSB.
With the addition of the IA-64 (ia64), HP PA-RISC (hppa),
MIPS (mips, mipsel), and S/390 (s390) architectures, Debian
GNU/Linux now supports a total of eleven architectures. It now
runs on computers ranging from palmtops to supercomputers, and
nearly everything in between, including the latest generation
of 64 bit machines.
This is the first version of Debian that features
cryptographic software integrated into the main distribution.
OpenSSH and GNU Privacy Guard are included in the default
installation, and strong encryption is now present in web
browsers and web servers, databases, and so forth. Further
integration of cryptographic software is planned for future
releases.
For the first time, Debian comes with the K Desktop
Environment 2.2 (KDE). The GNOME desktop environment is
upgraded to version 1.4, and X itself is upgraded to the much
improved XFree86 4.1. With the addition of several
full-featured free graphical web browsers in the form of
Mozilla, Galeon, and Konqueror, Debian's desktop offerings
have radically improved.
This version of Debian supports the 2.2 and 2.4 releases of
the Linux kernel. Along with better support for a greater
variety of new hardware (such as USB) and significant
improvements in usability and stability, the 2.4 kernel
provides support for the ext3 and reiserfs journaling
filesystems.
Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 features a more streamlined and
polished installation, which is translated into numerous
languages. The task system has been revamped and made more
flexible. The debconf tool makes configuration of the system
easier and more user friendly. Debian GNU/Linux can be
installed from CD, or from the network and a few floppies. It
can be downloaded now, and will soon be available on CD-ROM
from numerous vendors.
Upgrades to Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 from earlier releases are
automatically handled by the apt package management tool. As
always, Debian GNU/Linux systems can be upgraded painlessly,
in place, without any forced downtime. For detailed
instructions about installing and upgrading Debian GNU/Linux,
please see the
release notes.
This is the first release of Debian that is compatible with
version 2.2 of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS). Debian
GNU/Linux now also supports software developed for the Linux
Standard Base (LSB), though it is not yet LSB certified.
Current Debian users may be interested to know that this
release of Debian supports build dependencies, to aid in
building packages from source, and apt pinning, to ease
partial upgrades to our testing or unstable branch. This
release of Debian features aptitude as an alternative for the
venerable dselect program, which will make it easier to select
packages. About four thousand new software packages were added
to the distribution in Debian GNU/Linux 3.0.
