2 years means april 2009, which is past the 64-bit transition deadline: http://catb.org/~esr/writings/world-domination/world-domination-201.html I believe (and if you read the document above, you'll probably believe too) that it is of the utmost importance that lenny is released _before_ the transition deadline in late 2008. This is when a new 64-bit OS of choice will forcibly be stablished. Microsoft is not ready now, and they'll be barely ready by then. If we can beat them on 64-bit while they keep their dominance on 32-bit PCs, they'll face the same destiny that doomed Digital Research when the 8-bit market collapsed: http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/world-domination/world-domination-201.html#ftn.id286952 If a date that fits in this schedule is chosen, I would be very motivated to participate in the release process and offer my help (as soon as I complete my personal lists of things I'd like to see in lenny). -- Robert Millan My spam trap is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: this address is only intended for spam harvesters.
