Submission + - Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” frozen (debian-news.net)

edesio writes: From debian-news.net:

"In this very moment, during the ongoing annual Debian Developer
Conference “Debconf10 in New York, Debian’s release managers have
announced a major step in the development cycle of the upcoming stable release Debian 6.0 “Squeeze”: Debian “Squeeze” has now been frozen.

In consequence this means that no more new features will be added and
all work will now be concentrated on polishing Debian “Squeeze” to
achieve the quality Debian stable releases are known for.

The upcoming release will use Linux 2.6.32 as its default kernel
in the installer and on all Linux architectures."
