DEBIAN NEWS Debian in Orbit on Space Shuttle
A Debian system is currently in orbit on the U.S. Space Shuttle. It is monitoring an experiment in the Microgravity Science lab. Full details are available in "Linux Journal". Debian 1.3.1 Released Debian GNU/Linux 1.3.1 is now available on our 79 FTP sites. In addition, our Official 2-CD Set is available for you to duplicate and sell (or give away) with no fee from us. The main difference from 1.3 to 1.3.1 is the inclusion of XFree86 3.3 . This solves a number of known security bugs and other problems in X. There are also bug-fixes to several other packages. You can find the Official Debian GNU/Linux 1.3.1 2-CD Set for sale at excellent prices. Please see http://www.debian.org/vendors.html for a listing of CD vendors. If you already have a 1.3 CD, you may find it most economical to update your system to 1.3.1 automaticaly from one of our 79 FTP mirror sites. You can do this using Dselect's FTP installation method. You can also download and install Debian for the first time using FTP. A listing of mirror sites appears below. If you would like to duplicate and sell the Official Debian 1.3.1 2-CD Set, you can download the ISO 9660 image files from one of several official CD mirror sites listed at the end of this message. In addition, CD manufacturers _only_ can order two gold CD masters, ready to duplicate, sent via air express for $50. To order, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . DEBIAN FTP MIRROR SITES These are the FTP mirror sites for regular users, not the sites of the ISO 9660 image files for CD manufacturers. Those appear at the end of this message. Rev 970621v2 Number of listed sites: 79 Debian GNU/Linux - worldwide mirror sites A mirror is another site on the Internet that periodically downloads the entire contents of the Debian distribution so that no one site will get clogged up with transfers. Of course, this means that files released may not appear the same day on the mirror as it would on a major site - however we recommend that you use a mirror for the main part in any case. Please make sure you obtain the latest README.mirrors file - which is available at ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/README.mirrors If you find a site listed that becomes outdated or one that isn't listed, please let us know by emailing [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: Unless otherwise stated, ALL sites below are FTP sites.
